Notes | Kuniyoshi was famous for his colour prints of warriors and also comic subjects. The series illustrates popular sayings associated with the twelve animals of the zodiac, or else just puts them in comic human situations. Here the horses are all shown asleep to illustrate the saying ' a horse bought for 100 'mon' (hyaku de katta muma). This means something bought cheaply which is useless, such as a lazy horse that will not work. (Label copy, TTC 2000) | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
