江戸風俗十二ケ月之内 十二月 諸侯之奥年忘之図（右の1枚）
Twelfth Month: A Year-End Party in a Daimyo's Inner Quarters, from Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Right Panel)
Beneath a striped curtain, with sliding doors painted with snow-covered bamboo grass behind them, women in kimono of every color gather around red cloth and other items in the middle.
About this print
Women in kimono of many colors sit shoulder to shoulder in a circle. Red cloth and other items are gathered in the middle, and at the lower left sits something like a red box. Above hangs a red and yellow striped curtain, and in front of the sliding doors behind it stand three bonbori lamps with red rims.
Twelve Months of Edo Customs is a print series that depicts the customs of Edo in fine detail, month by month through the year. The picture for the twelfth month is a three-sheet nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock print), and this sheet, with the title plate at its upper right, is the far right one.
On the bamboo grass of the sliding doors at the back, each leaf carries a soft heap of white snow. The snowy bamboo continues right up behind the red rims of the bonbori.
