Suzuki Harunobu, Analogue of "Evening Faces," 1776, a print which transposes a scene from the Heian-period novel The Tale of Genji into the "floating world" of Edo. Notice the #moonflowers# (yûgao, literally "evening faces") above the doorway where the beautiful (by Edo standards) lady is standing. Prince Genji appears as an Edo dandy, the scion of a wealthy family. The *ox cart that the original Genji used for transportation* would not have been appropriate for a well-to-do urban dweller in Tokugawa times, so here it is reduced to an insect box--a popular toy. The flowing water was a common symbol for the flowing of passions in Tokugawa-period eroticism.
