Description: This print is from the series, 日本木版画粋 (Masterpieces of Japanese Woodblock Prints), a collection of reproductions of various themes and designs published around 1924. The print quality is excellent (for most of the prints) and there are almost no traces of baren on the back, so we assume that it was at least partially machine printed.

It depicts a lively indoor scene of revelers and a man approaching a woman on a veranda. The artist employs an interesting technique of casting the shadows of the indoor figures onto a shoji screen.
