Leaflet slightly bumped at the lower edge in the fold, art print very good. Text in Japanese and English. - Chuban Nishikie - (Important Art Object) One is reminded of the kyoka, or comic verse, inscribed on Torii Kiyomasu's print "Evening Rain at Emonzaka" from his "Eight Views of the Yoshiwara": The rain at night But no voice of the samisen To wake the memories of love. The appearance of the young dandy, sleepy-eyed and indolent, with one hand on his chin, suggests that the couple are relaxing after the fulfillment of passion. The courtesan, attired in a white uchikake, or robe, patterned with boats and waves, has her left hand tucked inside her sleeve while holding a pipe in her right hand. Kneeling with her lover, she looks at the male golden pheasant in a bird cage on the porch. The pheasant, caged alone without a female at his side, seems to stare back reproachfully. The "golden pheasant" is the familiar name of a star. There is a superstition that when this pheasant star cries out to herald the dawn all the cocks in the world crow in imitation. The rain continues, and a few hours still remain before the cocks cry at the break of day, when the two lovers must part.
