江戸風俗十二ケ月の内 十月 豪商恵北寿講祝の図（右の1枚）
Tenth Month: A Wealthy Merchant's 恵北寿講 Celebration, from Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Right Panel)
In front of white doors upstairs, women in purple, green and yellow kimono stand in a row. On the ground floor below, yellow and gold things are heaped up like a small mountain.
About this print
In the upstairs room, women in kimono of many colors stand in a row with white doors behind them. The woman on the left bends forward, and at the right end stands someone in an orange kimono. Below the black crossbeam, on the ground floor, a large crowd gathers around a heap of yellow and gold things.
This is the tenth month of Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Edo Fuzoku Junikagetsu), a print series that depicts the customs of Edo in fine detail, month by month from the first to the twelfth. Three sheets placed side by side make one picture, and this sheet, with the black pillar carrying the title plate, is the far-right one. A three-sheet nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock print) for the same tenth month is also in the collection of the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
Look closely at the upper left corner of the ground floor, and you'll see something like a black frame strung with fine lines hanging there. Just above the yellow heap, that one spot is sharply marked off by black lines.
