On the left side, there is a standing screen with a painting on it. A woman in an orange kimono sits on the floor to the right of the standing screen. In the center, a woman in a red kimono stands. A woman in a black kimono with white and red details crouches to the left. Four women sit around a low table to the right. One woman wears a green kimono, another a blue kimono, and the other two have kimonos with black and white details. The border is dark green with a thin gold line on the inner edge and a thin black line on the outer edge.
