        "description": "Courtesan Hatsuito of a brothel named Yamashiroya is likened to autumnal bush clover in this series comparing the qualities of courtesans to flowers. Hatsuito ties her servant\u2019s obi sash while a gibbon emerges from a painting in the room\u2019s viewing alcove to offer a love letter on which Hatsuito\u2019s name appears. Gibbons reaching in vain for the moon\u2019s reflection in water is a common metaphor for the deluded mind, and bush clover in moonlight is a popular seasonal motif. Here, the ideas are combined as the gibbon woos this unattainable beauty.",
