介绍（中）	猴子表演正在武士的家中（坐在左下角）举行，以确保来年的好运。艺术家将两个人物悬挂在半剪影中是惯例的独特用法。这些在竹板屏风后面的妇女可以私下观看庆祝活动。为了模拟屏幕的扩散质量，与其他人物相比，Utamaro柔化了女性的特征。宇多丸郎在这本漫画诗的绘本中也谈到了癖的主题，其中包含五个双页的元旦庆祝活动场景。这幅印刷品的精湛工艺是典型的 ehon 作品集，这些作品集由鉴赏家委托，因此只使用最好的墨水、纸张和装订。猴子表演正在武士的家中（坐在左下角）举行，以确保来年的好运。艺术家将两个人物悬挂在半剪影中是惯例的独特用法。这些角色——武士的妻子和她的侍从——出现在一个竹板屏风后面，在那里他们可以私下观看庆祝活动。为了模拟屏幕的扩散质量，与其他人物相比，Utamaro柔化了女性的特征。同样，Utamaro 通过他的单色处理将这对搭档隔离开来，这种处理与其他丰富的色彩和洒落的金色形成阴郁的对比
介绍（英）	A monkey performance is being held at the home of a samurai (seated at the lower left) to ensure good luck during the coming year. The artist's suspension of two figures in half-silhouette is a unique usage of the convention. These women behind a sudare byōbu (bamboo-slat screen) can view the festivities privately. To simulate the screen's diffusing quality, Utamaro softened the women's features in comparison to the other figures. Utamaro also dealt with the theme of voyeurism in this ehon (illustrated book) of kyōka (comic poetry), containing five double-page scenes of New Year's Day celebrations. The exquisite workmanship of this print is typical of ehon portfolios, which were commissioned by connoisseurs and consequently utilized only the finest ink, paper and bindings.

The artist's suspension of two figures in half-silhouette is a unique usage of the convention. These characters—the samurai's wife and her attendant—are seen behind a sudare byōbu (bamboo-slat screen), where they can view the festivities privately. To simulate the screen's diffusing quality, Utamaro softened the women's features in comparison to the other figures. Likewise, Utamaro isolates the pair through his monochrome treatment that is in somber contrast to otherwise rich color and sprinkled gold
