Notes

Smith 1988

A group of prostitutes from the Shin Yoshiwara licensed district are playing music on the upper floor of a restaurant overlooking the Sumida River. Nanabito is playing the 'koto' (a horizontal harp) and Sugatano the 'kokyu' (a single-stringed violin). They are accompanied by lower-rank prostitutes and apprentices. With the introduction of Prussian blue about this time, some prints were done in the new colour alone to exploit its novelty. This example also uses a little red on the lips. The signature is 'Printed by Keisai Eisen'.
