Label Text:
This print is signed at middle-left "Katsukawa Shunshō ga" ('drawn by Katsukawa Shunshō'). The title of the print and the series are within a cartouche at upper-right but owing to trimming of the right margin are not visible on this impression.

This print is the eleventh in a series of twelve sheets. This series was a collaboration between Katsukawa Shunshō and Kitao Shigemasa, with each designing six of the images.
