About MeThis is one of a series of ten seasonal pictures, accompanied by poems. The subject here is 'preparing the fireplace', a traditional event in October.

The poem describes how the snow comes, melts on the street and is covered by fallen leaves of ginkgo and maple, which is a good time to prepare the fireplace.

The colour scheme is influenced by the printing regulations of 1842-43.

Signature: Kunisada aratame nidai Toyokuni (Kunisada changed his name to Toyokuni) with Utagawa School's mark 'Toshidama'.
Censor's ceal: Tanaka
