Catalog note / 解説

Beauty Yanagawa of Tsuchiya (left), Samurai Magoemon (some reason or another, he has a Buddhist rosary on his ear). The print on the wall in the distressed house is identifiable as one of the sheets from the famous "Gonin Otokodate" set, which Kunisada did in the early 1830s. It is very difficult to find Edo period ukiyo-e prints depicting identifiable ukiyo-e within the picture. The triptych with the similar feature are sold in Japanese dealer galleries around $800.
