Archive Label date unknown: The child is seated before a block-printed board for sugoroku, a travel game, played with dice and markers, which followed the course of the Tōkaidō Road between Edo and Kyoto. The Pekinese looking up at the biscuit in the woman's hand indicates that the picture was published in a Dog Year.
