Shikishiban. From the series of fifteen spring kyōka surimono entitled Niwatori-awase (A contest of fowls), commissioned by the Taiko poetry group for the year of the cock. The series was unusual in that it consisted of six pairs of prints (right and left) designed by Shinsai and Kunisada, and a triptych by Hokkei. The pair to this print is Aburadori (MFA Boston). ‘Mixed cock-crows’ (midare-dori) was a poetic term expressing a time late in the dawn; it is also the title on the cover of the Meriyasu keiko-bon (instruction manual for popular ballads) which the young girl is using for her shamisen lesson. 'Midare' is also suggestive of disorder, and may hint that the young learner's skills are not yet developed. She is dressed up in a new kimono and with her hair arranged for the first music lesson of the New Year. Music was often taught by female instructors, particularly popular music. reference exhibition-3992 adlib-exhibition-3992 e3823b09-ff0e-3de9-8934-d6b9dbcedbc9 Women in Japanese Prints P.482-1937 1 accession number P.482-1937 182361 priref 182361 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/182361 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/182361 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference agent-149741 adlib-agent-149741 5ea44bbc-5087-32f2-8cf9-6aae589876a2 Barron, E.
