On the upper right corner, the subject is given as "Illustration of the second floor of the Bisho-ya (teahouse) in the new Yoshiwara district (in Edo/Tokyo)." Eight geishas, with their names given in nearby cartouches, are seen from the open second story of a teahouse wearing sumptuous, multi-layered kimonos and elaborate hairdos and pins. Some are reading or holding text scrolls, perhaps letters; one holds a brush for writing. They are attended by finely-dressed young female servants. Several large and ribboned lanterns hang from the ceiling on the top; on the bottom near the balustrade are cherry and pine tree tops. The palette is dominated by saturated blue, red, and green.82.068_Disc0415_04156032Tsunoda Kunisadasrc: https://emuseum.cornell.edu/internal/media/dispatcher/73455/fullSukeroku19th centuryTsunoda Kunisada84.04321035037666The character depicted in free hand is called Sukeroku, the hero of the play by the same name written in 1713.
