About this print
A single sheet is split into two pictures, one above the other. In the upper one, a woman in a red kimono with ornaments in her hair stands on the left, and a man in a gray kimono sits on the right. Between them swarm a number of small white creatures, and behind them is a tree with red leaves or flowers. The lower picture shows the large face of a man with a towel over his head. He turns his eyes upward and sticks out his tongue, and he wears a striped kimono, with a pole over his shoulder.
The title reads "Taisha and Rat Poison, Izumo and Iwami," and the lower picture stands for the rat poison of Iwami. In the Edo period, rat poison made from arsenic was sold under the name "Iwami Ginzan."
