The image depicts two women in traditional Japanese clothing. The woman in front sits on the floor with her head tilted down, wearing a white head covering and a dark kimono with a geometric pattern. She holds a pipe to her mouth with her right hand. A red box sits in front of her. The woman behind her stands, leaning over, and wears a light-colored kimono. She holds a cup in her right hand and a stick in her left hand, with smoke rising from an object on the left. The background is yellow, with some Japanese writing on the right side.
