Gekko learned the painting techniques by himself from the design work of the painting on the ceramic and lacquer. After the study, he started self-publishing since 1877, and it made him be known little by little. From 1882, he started the work of Kuchi-e and illustration. After that, he became one of the most famous artists.
Also, he was rated in the 7th place of the Ukiyo-e artist on "Guide of the vogue of Tokyo" in 1885. Considering that he was a newcomer in the Ukiyo-e field, and also, the rank at the time was generally related to the connections between the teacher and pupils, it was an unusual reputation.
This artwork is one of the series of the combination of beautiful women, the famous places, and the flowers.
Ladies are looking at something in the snow at Kameido. She looks that she found birds play around the lying-dragon-plum. She is smiling a little, and her warm gaze looks making the cold winter air soften.
