Description

‘Courtesan Tamagawa of the Toi House’ by Utamaro.

The courtesan is reading an old poem by Minamoto no Toshinori. The upper right poem is a kind of parody by Shuzoutei Fumika (酒蔵亭文香). More information about these poems are here: https://www.tmja.org.il/eng/Collection/Ukiyo-e_Woodblock_Prints/2335
