Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Women Accosting Travelers at Goyu 東海道五拾三次之内　御油旅人留女とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　ごゆ　たびびととめおんな

Description

現在の愛知県豊川市にあたる。御油の宿では日暮れになると「留女」と呼ばれた女たちの旅籠への客引きが盛んで、画中のような光景も大げさではなかった。『東海道中膝栗毛』には「両がはより出くる留女、いずれもめんをかぶりたるごとくぬりたてるが…」とあるが、その情景そのままの図といえる。手前の男は風呂敷を引っ張られ苦しむ顔がいかにも滑稽で、後ろの男も袖を引っ張られ困惑している様子が窺える。画面右の旅籠の中の様子も面白く、留女に観念したのか、草鞋を脱ぐ旅客に足洗い用の盥を差し出す老女も見える。
