顺佳，吉原妓女，选自织锦区-基库川爱赞
-Kikukawa Eizan (菊川 英山, 1787-July 17, 1867) was a designer of ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints.
Shunga (春画) is a Japanese term for erotic art. Most shunga are a type of ukiyo-e, usually executed in woodblock print format.

He dallies while he contemplates his options: \"An oiran looks good from either the side or the front...perhaps today, let\'s make it the side.\" She grows impatient: \"Don\'t say such useless, foolish thing; hurry up and come inside.\" The poem on the lantern at left reads: \"The wind of the fan Parts the mist The hollyhock s in the valley Beautiful to the eye.\"
