The red stamp above her head is a note of welcome to 寿多有 ("Sutā"), the American anthropologist and avid senjafuda collector Dr. Frederick Starr (1858-1933).

Right: A traveler passes a signpost showing the ways to the Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage and the Bandō 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. The sponsor is Kotobuki-tei of Hacchobori and the date given is the 28th of October, Taisho 14 (1925). The artist of the illustration is Shiccho.
