This print depicts two courtesans from the Shinagawa pleasure quarter. The courtesan Yamato is holding a folding pocket mirror and applying rouge to her lips while courtesan Kiyosaki, is holding up a magnifying glass looking at it with some astonishment and interest. There is also an optical viewing device on a small table next to them, they both were probably novelty accessories at that time in Japan. We can notice the fantastic mix of graphic patterns on their kimonos with a joyful color palette that makes them stand out against the sober background.
