Catalog note / 解説

Workers at a plush fan store. The lady in black is probably the wife of the store owner. The elaborately made "ogi" (folding-fan) pictures were cut in the shape and stored in a lacquer box. One of the worker is looking at the design of kabuki actor on which Toyokuni's signature is printed. One sheet of a triptych.
