A woman sits on the floor, wearing a head covering and a dark-colored kimono with white polka dots and a green and blue floral design. The woman's kimono has light-colored cuffs and a light-colored collar. Her right hand touches a wooden loom in front of her. The loom has a frame, two side posts, and a horizontal beam at the top. There are strings on the loom. The woman's left leg is bent with her foot tucked under her garment. The background is a plain wall with vertical black Japanese characters on the left side and a vertical white banner on the right side with Japanese characters. There are two red stamps, one in the upper center and one on the lower right.
