Since her hands are occupied, she clutches in her mouth the tissues used to keep herself clean after each customer.Large vertical prints of this scale were mounted as hanging scrolls for those who were unable to afford paintings. " Label Copy (Spanish): "En esta imagen sugestivamente ertica de una prostituta a la moda, el artista se deleita representando las tiras de tela a cuadros de su obi, el cual anuda de frente sin ayuda. Como tiene las manos ocupadas, en la boca tiene los papeles que usa para limpiarse despus de cada cliente.Los grabados grandes verticales de esta escala se montaban como rollos colgantes para aquellos que no tenan dinero para comprar pinturas."
