Notes

Smith 1988

This is from a series 'The Six Crystal Rivers Up-to-date', based on an ancient Japanese set of river-subjects used in both literature and art. A prostitute comes on to the veranda in her night attire. The long poem-slip above her head gives the series title and quotes a poem of autumnal melancholy. Next to it is a poem card (listed in the card game of the 'Hundred Poets') which identifies the Kinuta River in Settsu Province above a portrait of a classical poetess. The print is signed 'Painted by Harunobu'.
