这是一个不同美人与日本各地风俗相结合的一个系列。这幅画的美人正对着镜子抚摸自己的脖子，而她的两只猫咪正在旁边嬉戏玩耍。画面上方的小视图则描绘了远江国，一个沿海小县城当地的特色——渔货。
The series matched local specialties from around Japan with portraits of beautiful women. In this one, Number 38, shows a beautiful woman, or bijin, about to tweeze her neck while her two cats -- a Kuniyoshi specialty -- frolic nearby. The inset shows a seascape of Totomi Province, where the specialty  was the bladders of fish caught in the Sunomata River.
