The centering of this poem is one picture, which is drawn by Utamaro (one of most famous Japanese Ukiyo-e artist in Edo era).
The poem started with discription of the room, then the women came up.
I really prefer first paragraph of this poem.
"The light is the inside
sheen of an oyster shell,
sponged with talc and vapor,
moisture from a bath."
This room full fill with atmosphere of life, but also it has tranquility.
Everythings of this room is keeping quiet and staying except woman.
Contrasted with colores of her hair and skin, the peach-dyed kimono is impressing.
Each sentence describe to try explain everything which author could watch form this picture,
even he could not see.
