An ivory netsuke of a lady with an elaborately crafted hairstyle, bearing some resemblance to Okame, holding a phallic mushroom in her right hand and mischievously laughing, with the other hand held to her chin. Her facial expression is crafted sensitively showing a slightly opened mouth with visible teeth. Her garments are decorated with various patterns and the small himotoshi are found in the back. Signature in a way reserve on the underside
