《时代之镜》这个系列描绘了日本各个历史时期身着传统服饰的美女。画中束发扎头巾的女子来自宽永时代,她左手拿着三味线,右手拿着弹琴的拨子。三味线起源于中国元朝的三弦琴,14世纪传入日本,在宽永时代(1624-43)成为现在的三味线。画面的上半部分描绘了乳母用阳伞为一对母子遮挡太阳。

Chikanobu is considered perhaps the last great Ukiyo-e artist. This series depicted beautiful women in traditional garb from various epochs of Japanese history. This player of the traditional Japanese instrument is from the Kanei era (1624-44). In the upper inside panel, attendants are shielding the mother and child with a parasol.
