From the Art Institute of Chicago record

In the story of Ono no Komachi at Seki Temple (also the subject of a popular Nō play), a monk and a young boy visit an old woman who has a talent for poetry. When the woman utters a verse by Komachi, the monk realizes that she is Komachi herself. The poet and the boy then dance together. In this print, a young mother and her child stand in for Komachi and the boy. In the banner above them is a famous poem by Komachi: I that am lonely, Like a reed root-cut Should a stream entice me, Would go, I think. (Translation by Arthur Waley)
