Notes | She wears a silk head-cloth for an outing and so perhaps they are stealing a meeting while she is on some errand or temple visit for her mistress. Utamaro playfully hides her expression of surprise at the urgency of his lovemaking with a roll of tissues, while his expression of bliss is all but hidden by her head-cloth. Prime focus is given to the conjoined genitals, the source of their mutual pleasure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
