The sentiment of the good old days is truly concentrated in this one picture. Not only the girl in furisode, but also the lattice door, shrine lantern, round window, shoji (paper sliding door), stone lantern, and Ajiro fence are all things that are difficult to find today. The light leaking from the entranceway is painted in red to clearly express the contrast with the darkness outside.

古き良き時代を思わせる情緒がこの一枚に集約されています。振袖の少女のみならず、格子戸、御神燈、円窓、障子、石灯籠に網代塀など今では見かけるのが困難なものばかり。玄関からもれる光をことさら赤く描き、戸外の暗との対比をはっきりと表現しています。
