“A superb image that develops upon the theme of outdoor space introduced through the open window, now transforming it into a more controlled private garden, where a woman relaxes with her cat, her vagina visible through her loose clothing. A male servant spies upon her from a nearby window. Not only does Kunisada once again use multiple levels of space functioning simultanously to violate any sense of clear seperation between public and private,but he further develops the theme through the introduction of multiple gazes, with the woman and the cat looking at each other, the man looking at the two of them, and the viewer watching the entire scene (with an even further layer of self-gaze implied by a covered mirror in the woman’s bedroom interior).”

“A comical illustration of an interior scene where the woman now confronts the servant, and the gazes once again are reversed as she glares directly at him, while he lowers his head and covers his face in shame (yet another contrast of public and private is introduced at this point, since their confrontation intrudes upon a couple having sex in the next room, sperated from them only by a folding screen).”
