The immortal (sennin) Ôkyô, Yashima Gakutei, between 1821 and 1822

A high-ranking courtesan, standing on two geese behind a kimono rack. The immortal (sennin) ôkyô was of royal descent, but left his family to become a monk on a mountain. His family was only allowed to visit him on the seventh day of the seventh month. When his family arrived at the mountain, they saw him flying away on a white crane. This series parodies the immortal men (sennin) by portraying them as courtesans.
