This ukiyo-e print, "An Elegant Parody of the Six Poetic Immortals (Furyu yatsushi rokkasen): The Priest Kisen", by Chōbunsai Eishi, showcases a woman dressed in elegant garments, seated at a table with a book and writing supplies. The scene is a humorous commentary on the "Six Poetic Immortals", a group of renowned Chinese poets, as the woman appears to be composing poetry.
