Zuffi comments:
In this delightful engraving, the national icon, Mount Fuji, appears in the background, and a handsome white cat, which has climbed onto the windowsill, seems to gaze with romantic languor at the colors of the sky and countryside.
The cat is obviously thinking "All that I see, I own, especially the people."
