Date: 1865/2
Description: This print illustrates an episode from Chapter 23; the travellers are tested by goddesses masquerading as a mother and her three daughters. The reading of the names is not entirely certain; in Chinese they are Ai-Ai, Lian-Lian and Zhen-Zhen. The first syllable of Genjō's name seems to have been written with the non-standard character 伭, and Cho Hakkai's with the character 猪.
Series: Modern "Journey to the West"
