The courtesan Yamato is holding a folding pocket mirror and applying rouge to her lips while courtesan Kiyosaki, is holding up a magnifying glass looking at it with some astonishment and interest. There is also an optical viewing device on a small table next to them, they both were probably novelty accessories at that time in Japan.
