In this image Harunobu gives a nod to the great ukiyo-e innovator, Okumura Masanobu (1686-1764), as he clues us to the sophistication of his own viewer, the smoking courtesan. For another example of the print, see Julia Meech and Jane Oliver, eds., Designed for Pleasure: The World of Edo Japan in Prints and Paintings, 1680-1860, exh. cat. (New York: Asia Society and Japanese Art Society of America in association with University of Washington Press, Seattle and London, 2008), fig. 54.
