Utagawa Kunisada

Woman Gathering Ferns, 1830er Jahre

About the object

In keeping with a spring ritual, a geisha gathers bracken in order to prepare it for cooking at home. It would have been deep fried as tempura. The three poets Tokotei Hidemaru, Tosentei Yoshinari and Wachikutei Sunao likewise address this theme in their printed poems.
