The title in Japanese refers to the seven transformations of Yaozo, and as it suggests, seven costumes are provided for Yaozo. Ukiyo-e prints were not just for visual enjoyment, some prints provided these other kinds of enjoyment. The signature Shunro is one of the names Hokusai used when he was a young man. This print shows that he was already extremely talented as a young man.
