Label Text:
The titles of this print and the series from which it comes are printed vertically within the red cartouche at upper-right. Ōse's two attendants are identified as Oruko and Meoko. The print is signed at lower-right "Kōchōrō Kunisada ga" ('drawn by Kōchōrō Kunisada'), a signature used by the artist ca. 1825–1861. To the left of the signature is the kiwame mark of the censor, below which is the seal — three dots within a circle — of publisher Iseya Sanjirō of the firm Eijudō.
