This ukiyo-e print is a work by Baido Kunimasa (1848-1920); born Takenouchi Hidehisa during his career he used different names (go) for his works, Baido Hosai, Baido Kunimasa, Kochoro, Kunimasa IV, Kunisada III, Toyokuni V and Toyokuni V.

This print depicts the on going in a kimono shop.  Wonder if it was something like a xmas shopping day, everyone looks really stressed out in the picture.
