A woman in a white kimono with a brown obi and red trim stands on tatami flooring, opening a shoji sliding door. The woman is barefoot. Her obi trails behind her. She faces left; her head is bowed down and to the left as she peers around the edge of the door. In the foreground on the bottom left, a woman lies on her side on a patterned blanket; she wears a pink kimono and a large patterned headpiece. A wall on the right extends to a balcony with a railing. A flowering branch protrudes from behind the shoji door. Behind the standing woman is a patterned fabric with red and green designs. To the left of the door on the wall are Japanese characters. The overall color palette is muted with beige tones.
