Beauties Eating Crab - Great image of beauties feasting on crab in a teahouse interior. A crouching woman holds a crab leg near her chin, her cheeks bulging, while a companion leans over a black lacquer tray, scooping the meat from the body of a crab shell. A woman behind her, leans back as she sings and plays the shamisen, while a beauty at lower right reclines on the floor, resting her head sleepily on her hand. A rather comic image, wonderfully detailed.
