Chinese Tang-dynasty priest Hanshan and Shide were disciples of Zen priest Fenggan at Mt. Tiantai Guoqing Temple, and their innocent and humorous image was often portrayed in ancient Zen illustrations, etc. They were usually depicted with Hanshan holding a scroll, and Shide holding a broom. This is a mitate-e, parody (yatsushi-e, adaptation) in which that stance has been substituted with women from Edo. The “Kyosen kō (idea by Kyosen)” is the poetic name of Ōkubo Jinshirō Tadanobu, a Hatamoto shogunal vassal with a stipend of 1,600 koku, the individual leading the fashion for egoyomi calendar exchange parties at the time, and shows that it was a surimono private print produced by Harunobu on commission from Kyosen. Part of the woman’s face and scroll have been damaged and repaired, but since the writing “…kiku kasane shimo furitsuki shiwasu meiwa ni kinotonotori no toshi (Chrysanthemums abound and frost settles, 12th month, the 2nd year of Meiwa” is legible, it can be understood to describe the short months of Meiwa 2 (1765).
