The man is on the left, wearing a green striped kimono, bending forward at the waist. In front of him on the floor is a small wooden box with a tied string. The woman nearest to him sits on the floor to the right, wearing a brown kimono over an orange patterned under-kimono, her head bowed. Behind her stands a woman in a yellow kimono with blue trim and a blue under-kimono, her right arm raised to her head. In the upper-left corner, a smaller scene shows two people on one knee, the one in back wearing a green kimono, the one in front wearing an orange kimono. The background has a beige color with a patterned section behind the smaller scene. There are Japanese characters on the left and right side of the print.
