The print measures 18.5 x 26 cm and showcases the meticulous artistry of Koryūsai. The scene depicted in the print revolves around five elegantly dressed courtesans attending to two men who eagerly await their fate. They gather around a table where small slips of paper, representing each woman's name, are placed inside a decorative box. With bated breath, they draw lots to determine which courtesan will serve each client for the evening. Adding depth to the composition is a stunning screen painting in the background that portrays a heron gracefully soaring above crashing waves. This juxtaposition symbolizes both beauty and uncertainty as these women navigate their roles within society's expectations. Isoda Koryūsai masterfully captures not only the intricate details of traditional Japanese attire but also conveys emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language.
