介绍（中）	右边的女人戴着金色的朝臣帽，这表明她是一个shirabyōshi，因此，她会表演一种古老的诱惑宫廷舞蹈，女人们穿着男性服装。一位女服务员帮她系腰带。左边是一位发型精致的妓女，其风格比艺术家时代早了一两代人，由一名女服务员（kamuro）陪同，她拿着一个挎包和一根艳丽的长柄烟斗（kiseru），这根烟斗本可以在客人参观游乐区时与客人一起吸烟时使用。妓女手里拿着一种灯笼植物，这种植物在夏末成熟，如果干燥，可以变成一个临时的哨子。Hozuki是作为一种药用植物种植的，因为据说摄入它可以缓解发烧和孕妇晨吐，但尚不清楚艺术家是否想建议在这里使用 Tsukioka Settei一生大部分时间都在大阪度过，他是一位多产的木版印刷书籍插图画家，其中许多书展示了历史上女性的举止和习俗，这套绘画就是如此。他还因画美人和情色而出名。
介绍（英）	The golden courtier’s cap worn by the women on the right indicates that she is a shirabyōshi, and, as such, she who would have performed an old form of seductive courtly dance in which the women wore male costume. A female attendant helps tie her sash. On the left, a courtesan with an elaborate coiffure, of a style a generation or two before the artist’s time, is accompanied by a girl attendant (kamuro) who carries a satchel and a showy long-stemmed pipe (kiseru), which would have been used when joining a client to smoke tobacco during a visit to the pleasure quarters. The courtesan holds a hozuki (Chinese lantern plant), which ripen during the late summer and, if dried, can be turned into a makeshift whistle. Hozuki were cultivated as a medicinal plant, since ingesting it was said to relieve fevers and ease morning sickness for pregnant women—though it is unclear if the artist wanted to suggest that use here. Tsukioka Settei, who spent most of his life in Osaka, was a prolific illustrator of woodblock-printed books, many of which show manners and customs of women of the historical past, as is the case with this set of paintings. He also became famous as a painter of beauties and erotica.
