Description :
The Women of the Pleasure Quarter, p. 178: A courtesan is pulling the boy away from playing his samisen to other pleasures. At right a young girl is running towards the young man, her hands uplifted and mouth open as if calling out. The text refers to chigosakura (boy cherry tree) and to the fragrance that remains-transferred to kimono sleeves-after lovers have met. Toyonobu's print The Riding Lesson in the Art Institute of Chicago's Clarence Buckingham Collection (vol. I; p. 227) has the same unusual printed ground-pale pearl gray ground with embossed white woodgrain-which imitates a type of marbled paper (sumi-nagashi).
