The immortal skirt; Rokô; A parody of biographies of wise men by Courtisanes: a series of seven prints; Keisei Mitate Resenden - Nanaban No Uchi. A Courtisane in a kimono decorated with a long-haired turtle (minogame). Due to the position of the turtle shown, it seems as if the Courtisane rides on the beast, such as Rokô, a Chinese immortal, always did. Rokô is usually depicted as a young person moving on a long-haired turtle. These turtles symbolize a long life, because of the belief that the animals grow a tail of seaweed when they are 10,000 years old. With one poem.
