Source Description
At the right side of the kozuka is a cherry tree surrounded by a small fence. A sign is posted near the tree. Five monkeys are occupied trying to reach the tree's branches. The leftmost monkey holds a rope and the rightmost monkey points to the tree's sign. The image may be an illustration of a folk tale. An inscription on the back states that the kozuka was made for a commission.
