Sake cup, wood covered in silver lacquer, the obverse with a geisha walking beside a samurai who wears a cloth over the top and bottom of his head while ogling her, in gold, red, silver and black togidashi maki-e (a type of maki-e in which a hiramaki-e design is covered completely with lacquer and polished until the design reappears flush with the ground). The reverse depicts an oni (demon) dressed as a traveller and asleep on a rock on the right side of the cup. A dream bubble emanates from the lower left side of his head, enlarging across the cup to the left edge, thereby connecting the designs on the two sides; it thereby becomes apparent that the oni is not only dreaming he is going out with a beautiful woman but that the cloth over his head is an attempt to disguise his true identity by covering over his two short horns, which appear instead as a pair of bumpy protrusions. The reverse is signed Koryusai in gold hiramaki-e (metal powder sprinkled on to a lacquer design before it has hardened so that it is in low relief) to the left of the rock, by the design rather than in the usual place for the maker in the central reverse well, as the signature is for Isoda Koryusai, the print designer who worked between 1766 and 1788, crediting him for the design.
