A daughter of a great house risks a moment with her lover, at upper left is an open suzuribako (writing box) and letters. The lover is excited to be with the young woman in her own room: Doing it in this kind of place feels particularly good. It's really making me aroused. She responds: It would be bad if someone came upon us, so you have to be quick. Oh I'm getting very dizzy. Yes, ooh, uh, uh, that's it, that's it. Japan, Asia
