In this series, with a title expressing desire, or wanting to do something ('tai' - Mitate tai zukushi), Yoshitoshi depicts unnamed women in daily activities and explores their emotions, a precursor to the series 'Thirty-two Aspects of Customs and Manners' published ten years later (1888). The text is written by Takabatake Ransen (1838-1885), under the pen name Tentendo Shujin. When read together, both text and image are filled with double meanings and innuendo. The women are beautifully drawn with delicate line work. Yoshitoshi pays particular attention to their hairstyle, clothes and surroundings, creating an intriguing storyline for every depiction in the series.
