This painting, "Kamakura-cho Toshimaya Sake Shop Selling White Sake," is part of the "Edo Meisho Zue" (by Hasegawa Settan, 1836) .
When Juemon started selling white sake before the Girls' Day, it earned him a good reputation and became a popular product throughout Edo.
During the Edo period, the poem "Fuji for mountains, Toshimaya for white sake" came to be written, and it is said that Toshimaya is the originator of white sake to be offered at the Girl's Day festival.
This picture depicts Toshimaya selling white sake, showing that many people came to buy it.
