Comments - Attractive design of three beauties in a teahouse, the two women at right playing a hand game called "ken." The beauty in the center strikes a pose with her hands held up like paws, looking over her shoulder with a rather unhappy expression. Lacquer trays holding dishes of food rest on the floor behind her, and a shamisen case can be seen at far left. On the shoji windows behind them, patrons and entertainers are shown in silhouette, one man dancing about and waving his folding fan. A great image, nicely colored and detailed. We've never come across this subject in reprint before.
