Eizan's prints include so many mothers and children that he could plausibly be called Japan's chronicler of happy mothers. In the print shown here, an elaborately-dressed woman plays a small hand-drum as her child performs a dance. The odd white insignia on her black cloak, a stylized "bat" (<em>kômori</em>), is perhaps intended as a pun on the similar-sounding word for "child-care" (<em>komori</em>), a visual symbol of the theme of maternal affection. Her hair is done up with the heavy ornaments usually worn by courtesans, while the sturdy dancing child sports a cloth around his head and tied under his chin in the <em>hôkaburi</em> fashion used by festival street performers in the Spring Horse Festival. The "spring horse," the name also given to a carved horsehead mounted at one end of a bamboo stick, was a popular children's riding toy that was used to symbolize this spring festival, commonly celebrated during the Edo period. The word <em>kodakara</em>, or "Child Treasures," in the title of this print refers to both the woman's happiness in her child and the child's happiness in his toy.

The youth of these three female figures is implicit in their attire of the long-sleeve, boldly-patterned <em>furisode</em> kimono appropriate for young unmarried women. Shown behind them is a <em>hagi</em>, or autumn bush-clover, and all three women wear chrysanthemum designs appropriate to the season. The kimono of the woman on the right has a design of <em>kiku</em>, or cultivated chrysanthemums; the sash is decorated with a hand-drum pattern. The kimono of the woman in the center has an early-autumn pink crest and a design of <em>rangiku</em>, or wild-chrysanthemums; her sash has a <em>kiku-tatewaku</em> chrysanthemum pattern. The woman on the left wears a kimono sporting a small <em>marugiku</em> chrysanthemum design; the sash is decorated with a <em>kumo-tatewaku</em> cloud pattern. She also wears sprays of bush-clover blossoms in her head-covering, which is the sort used by upper-class women to protect their hair on outings.
Prints like these are called <em>kiku-zukushi</em>, or "every sort of chrysanthemum," which stems from the general term <em>tsukushi-e</em>, or pictures that focus on showing a number of items of a single category.

Legend holds that there was a poor woodcutter in Mino Province during the reign of Empress Genshô (715-724) who toiled ceaselessly in order to provide his aged father with the <em>sake</em> the father so loved. Returning home wearily after a day of hard labor, he found a gourd floating in the pool at the foot of a waterfall. Cutting it open, the woodcutter found it full of <em>sake</em>; from that day forward, he was able to provide his father with all the <em>sake</em> he desired. The Empress was so impressed by the woodcutter's exemplary filial piety that she appointed him Governor of the province, even changing the name of her reign to "Nourishing Old Age" (Yôrô, 717-24). This is how Yôrô waterfall got its name, and it remains a popular tourist destination today.
Hokusai is noted for his fascination with a chemical dye called "Berlin Blue" (Prussian blue) that found its way into Japan from Europe via China in the eighteenth century. In this and other prints he uses it in shades ranging from palest robin's-egg to near-black, the latter contrasting vividly with areas of white. The gnarled pines clinging to inhospitable rocks are a frequent symbol of hardiness in old age.
