A woman in a pink and brown kimono kneels on the floor, holding a long-handled tool near an orange pot on a low table. The pot has a white design around the middle; the table has a geometric design around the middle. The woman's kimono covers her right shoulder; her left shoulder is exposed. She wears a black and orange headpiece. A small black container sits on the floor to her left; a plate with objects on it sits to her right. Two women in green kimonos and black and white headpieces stand on either side of her; they are partially obscured by her. The woman on the right stands by a doorway; she holds a closed fan. The woman on the left holds a closed fan and looks down. The background is beige with some characters written vertically and horizontally.
