A Japanese woodblock print titled "First Bonito of the Year" by Utagawa Kunisada. The image depicts a woman kneeling on the floor. She wears a kimono with a brown and pink circular pattern. Her kimono has a red and black obi and a blue and white under-kimono visible at the sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in a traditional Japanese fashion with combs and pins. She holds a knife in her right hand and cuts a bonito on a cutting board. The cutting board sits on a wooden bucket with green accents. A plate with another knife rests on the floor in front of the bucket. The background features a beige color with clouds at the top. A red circle with black designs is in the upper right corner. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side and in two small seals at the bottom right.
