描述：
Low-ranked prostitute eating ebi tempura (prawns fried in butter) on a moonlit verandah. This particular print demonstrates how foreign fashions and customs that were once novel in Japan became commonplace in the late Edo period. The stripes of this low-ranking courtesan’s kimono are derived from a geometric pattern of South Asian origin, introduced to Japan by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. Likewise, the Portuguese brought the practice of batter-fried food to Japan, reflected here in the tempura she eats.
