A fun and vibrant ukiyo-e woodblock print in four colours showing a geisha in a finely patterned kimono bringing tea to a table of men. The scene at the table is chaotic with large bowls of food and one man firing the cork from a bottle into the face of another man. This print is from the series Tokyo meisho sanjūroku gisen (36 Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo) by Shôsai Ikkei (act.1860-70). The name, number and date of the print can be seen in the top right corner and the artist's signature and the publisher's seal can be seen in the lower left corner.
On washi.
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is a faint watermark at the lower edge and some white losses to the ink in the lower right hand corner.
