Label Text:
The series title is printed vertically at upper-right in the faintly striped cartouche. Immediately to the left, within the yellow square, is the name of the courtesan and the pleasure house where she works. At lower-left is the circular kiwame, or censor's seal, beneath which is the artist's signature, which reads "Eizan hitsu" ('drawn by Eizan'). At lower-right is the publisher's seal of Ezakiya Kichibei of the firm Tenjudō. This print has been dated using the style of Eizan's signature and the mark of the publisher, who collaborated with Eizan during the 1810s. BB 2013
