Comfortable things. A snowfall on the night when one stays in a brothel; a hood that is put on the head from behind.
Offensive things. The night-sweat of a j�ro; warming the bowl of a tobacco pipe by a woman before the guest is well acquainted with her; the coarse skin of a guest; the relative one meets on his way to the Yoshiwara; a guest who doesn’t clean his teeth.
Things which are soiled. The nostrils of a guest; the tobacco-box of a slovenly courtesan.
Laughable things. A party of j�ro all of whom have their collars covered with paper to prevent soiling their clothes; sudden showers of rain which drench sightseers in the Yoshiwara; demand for a night-garment by an unpopular j�ro.
An unsightly object. The day-time slumber of a j�ro with her mouth wide open.
Annoying things. Frequent visits of other j�ro to the room where their comrade’s guest is staying; whispering in the ear of a guest by a courtesan at their first meeting.
Cruel things. Expiry of the term of engagement of an unpopular j�ro; corporal punishment of a kamuro by her ane-j�ro.
Detestable things. The physiognomy of a yarite; talk about rude things by a prostitute; the indiscretion of a gyū.
A hopeful thing. A woman who redeems herself.
Foolish things. Respectable samurai who visit the Yoshiwara; elderly visitors to the Yoshiwara; a drunkard who cannot control himself.
