Description: This image from the erotic 'Poem of the Pillow' series turns the scene away from the physical passions and instead shows us a livid woman challenging her lover, holding what we can only assume is a love letter addressed to another woman.

This is a mid-Showa-era reproduction in very good condition of a design originally published in the late 1780s. The only distraction from the image itself is some pigment staining where the side registration mark is located, at the bottom of the print.
