Created between 1785 and 1793, the artwork showcases the vibrant culture of Edo-period Japan through its depiction of elaborately dressed women browsing and purchasing fans. The composition, rich in detail, captures the lively atmosphere of the shop, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese fans and the importance of these accessories in Edo society. The artwork is a prime example of the ukiyo-e genre, showcasing the everyday lives of ordinary people. This work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
