A surimono depicting a high-ranking courtesan preparing to inscribe a poem slip with accompanying poems by Takanoya Motosue, Miwagaki Mataru and Yomo Utagaki, commissioned by the Yomo Poetry Group (Yomogawa Kasumi-ren haru no kusaki no uchi).

The woman sits under a cupboard with sliding doors painted with a landscape scene of Mt. Fuji, making it seem as if the scene were a real outdoor view from a window.

Such prints were meant to be exchanged as year-end ritual gifts called seibo and would have likely circulated amongst the commissioner's friends and acquaintances. As surimono were privately commissioned, they were typically limited in production, with runs spanning a range of 50 to 200 impressions. This genre of woodblock printing also used costly materials and timely techniques such as bokashi (gradation) printing, blind printing (embossing), as well as the incorporation of metal pigments like brass leaf and silvery mica powder, all used in this work.
