Description
This is a comic take on women's morals promoted in popular Edo period handbooks known as Onna Imagawa. The poem in the upper left-hand side of the print seems to encourage "looking down on your husband, placing yourself high (in importance), and forgetting heaven", an opposite version of what an Onna Imagawa might direct a reader to do. In the accompanying illustration we see a version of the poem playing out. A courtesan meets with a lover who has sneaked in during the night. She peers back into her room, where her customer is sleeping, making sure they haven't woken him up...
