Description

A customer peeps through a hole in a shoji screen at two courtesans who pause before entering the room to entertain their guests. The print is a chuban, an ukiyoe-e print that is about half the size of an oban print.

There is an original of this design in the Metropolitan in New York.

They offer the poem transcribed as: Yū kaze ni hikute ni nabiko ominaishi hatsu aki goro no sugata naruran (The ominaishi flowers softly swayed by the evening breeze have the appearance of early autumn), likening the women to flowers.
