Note:  Although made the same year as the dance prints in Odori
Gojyûban (踊り五十番), this print does not appear to be traditionally
considered part of that series.   Technically speaking, "Nuno-zarashi" is
not the name of a particular dance, but rather a technique seen in Kabuki
and traditional Japanese dance, which involves the waving about of two
long strips of cloth in the air so as not to let them touch the ground.
