A scene depicting hairdressing; both the customer and the beautician have removed the upper half of their kimono to relax and make it easier to change postures.

During the Edo era, hairstyles became too complex to manage at home, so people had to visit hairdressers to have them tied.

The long lettering written on the upper part contains the lyrics of Naga-uta, a traditional form of singing accompanied by the shamisen, titled Kamisuki Yoru no Nadeshiko, which translates to "Combing Hair at Night, Nadeshiko Flower." In those days, the hairstyle for married women was called "Marumage," while unmarried women wore the "Shimada" style. The customer’s hairstyle is likely the latter; while she is in love with a man, wishing to adopt the former style. Their love seems difficult to realize...

Koryusai skillfully depicted the kimono patterns of common-class women, making them particularly attractive.
