This print depicts a lively street scene from the Meiji or late Edo period, focusing on three women, likely sex workers from the licensed quarter, dressed in colorful kimonos as they walk
together at night, illuminated by a lantern carried by one of them. In the background, a traditional row of shops and tea houses can be seen, with one prominently named Tsuruya, capturing the vibrant urban
life of the time.
The attention to detail in the women`s attire and the architectural elements reflects the rich culture and everyday life of historical Japan.
