『本草・博物学とその周辺』図録解説p.16「入谷の朝顔と朝顔店の図。手前の朝顔の二花には花芯の変化がある。入谷では、幕末の流行の頃から朝顔がつくられていたが、盛んになったのは明治以後らしい。その後さまざまな変遷があったが、現在は｢朝顔市」も復活し、｢ほおずき市｣などと並んで夏の風物詩となっている。(Thirty-six selected flowers: Iriya-asagao of the East Capital)This is a nishikie (color-printed ukiyoe woodblock prints) of a shop with morning glory flowers in Iriya. Two of the morning glory flowers at the front have unusually-shaped centers. Morning glory had been grown in Iriya from around the final days of the shogunate when they were popular, but growing them really became popular from the Meiji Period. After that, they underwent a variety changes, but today, morning glory fairs have been revived, and they have become customary events in summer along with ground cherry fairs.」
