The poem inscribed by the screen at the left translates: Two Guardian Figures: their first laugh is for the plum tree by the gate. This verse alludes to the male customers two companionsa courtesan and a male prostitute. Masanobu was a talented poet who enjoyed visual and verbal parodies, and his intelligence and unconventional humor set him apart from his contemporaries.' Label Copy (Spanish): 'Esta cartula de un lbum ertico de doce hojas se considera como una de las mejores obras de Masanobu en este gnero y su exposicin final sobre el erotismo. El poema inscrito junto a la pantalla a la izquierda dice: Dos figuras guardianas: su primera risa es para el ciruelo junto a la entrada. Este verso alude a los dos compaeros del cliente: una cortesana y un prostituto. Masanobu era un poeta talentoso y le gustaban las parodias visuales y verbales, su inteligencia y sentido del humor poco convencional lo distinguan de sus contemporneos.
