label copy: "this book page, page thirty-one of volume two of this edition, depicts a courtesan from the yoshiwara pleasure district. The haiku verse is apparently by the courtesan hanagishi herself, and loosely translates: someone returns in the depth of the night: a cuckoo. Set against a warm gray background, with her obi loosely tied in front, this figure is typical of harunobus lyrical style and subtle use of color. "
