Part of the series for the Hanazone poetry association called "Hanazono Bantsuzuki" this artwork by Totoya Hokkei showcases a sitting woman delicately holding scissors in her right hand as she clips her nails. The attention to detail is exquisite, with a bowl of fragrant herbs placed on a vibrant red lacquered tray against the backdrop of an earthy ground. Accompanying this beautiful image are two poems, adding depth and meaning to the artwork. These prints were created with the belief that the first activities of the new year held special significance. The presence of a red cartouche on these prints alludes to almanacs, which guided people born in specific years about what activities were auspicious or unfavorable on certain days. Dating back to around 1822, this paper-based color woodcut measures approximately 203 mm in height and 175 mm in width. It is evident that great care was taken during its creation, showcasing both artistic skill and cultural symbolism.
