Note du spécialiste

Ofuji worked at the Moto-Yanagiya. In front of her are samples of the stall's wares - a toothbrush and packet of tooth powder. The board behind her gives the name of the shop and advertises a type of scented tooth-blackening power, Genji nioi fushi, used by married women. See, David Waterhouse, The Harunobu Decade, (The Netherlands, 2013), p. 224.
A similar impression is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 11.13408.
