In stunning contrast, Harunobu's satiric treatment of the subject transforms the solemn guardian deity Sh\u014dki into a chicken-hearted Peeping Tom. Instead of repelling an evil spirit, Sh\u014dki assigns to it the role of a love-letter messenger. Standing on a craggy overhang with his finger in his mouth, a traditional gesture of envy and desire, he lowers the small demon with a folded letter to an unsuspecting woman by the shore, who is absolutely absorbed in pinning up her hair. The elongated format of the hashira-e, or pillar print, enhances the drama of the observer and observed.
