Hokusai had a penchant for depicting human figures in a variety of unusual postures. The rock in this print is associated with a famously elegant twelfth-century courtesan from ?iso, named Tora Gozen. It is said that her father prayed to the goddess Benzaiten for a child. A rock then appeared as a sign that a child would be born. As the child Tora grew, the stone miraculously grew in size as well. Tora eventually became the lover of the samurai hero Soga J?r?. When the Soga brothers were attacked at Toras house, the rock shielded them from their enemies weapons. Thereafter, Toras rock became a talisman for pregnancy and protection and a landmark for the station at ?iso." Label Copy (Spanish): "Esta impresin pertenece a una de las series del T?kaid? ms tempranas que se hayan publicado.
