The Second Segawa Kikunojō in the Role of Reizei in "Ima-o-sakari Suehiro Genji"
A woman in traditional Japanese clothing, with a yellow kimono and a patterned obi, stands facing left. Her hair is styled in an updo with a decorative piece. She holds a fan in her right hand and a long-handled tool, possibly a rake or a branch with flowers, in her left. The woman's left leg is slightly bent, and her right foot is extended behind her. She stands on a grassy area with a tree trunk to her left and a bush with flowers to her right. Two large brown objects are placed behind her. The background is a mottled beige color with a wavy line at the top. The artwork has a distressed appearance with visible signs of aging. A gray and black scale is on the left.
