Catalog note / 解説
In a guidebook to the Yoshiwara brothel district known as Yoshiwara saiken, a housewife, her anger seething, spots the name of a courtesan with whom her husband is intimate. Next to her and watching her expression ever so closely, another woman snickers.The contrast of her complacent expression with that of the housewife is quite amusing. Saiken wo/mite koitsu da to/nyobo ii, Looking through the guidebook/It’s her!/cries the housewife. (Tadashi Kobayashi, Edo Beauties in Ukiyo-e, 1994)
