A woman in a traditional Japanese kimono with a floral pattern stands beside a wooden fence and a lantern, her hair styled in an updo adorned with sticks and a headband, her face partially obscured by her arm. She wears a multi-colored kimono consisting of a brown top layer, a green sash, and a blue and orange floral patterned under-layer. A black vertical banner with white Japanese text is on the left. A small framed picture with a red border and Japanese writing and figures is above the banner. The background is beige with various Japanese characters scattered.
