The scroll features a Chinese beauty who is lavishly dressed and exquisitely coiffed in the fashion of a Tang aristocratic lady. Though not identified by the artist, we can safely assume that he intended the beauty in the front to refer to Yang Guifei (Japanese: Yōkihi), the infamous consort of Emperor Xuanzong (685–792) of the Chinese Tang dynasty, whose beauty was said “to put the flowers to shame.” (Following behind her was a maid.)

His surname was Komai, his real surname was Minamoto, and his given name was Ki, and he is often written as Komai Genki. His pen name was Shion, and he was commonly known as Konosuke. He was a leading disciple of Maruyama Okyo, and together with Nagasawa Rosetsu, they were praised as two philosophers.
