Colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene. An elderly man and a young woman are present. The man sits on the left side; he wears a dark robe with a floral pattern and a headband; his hair is pulled back. The woman lies on her back on a platform; she wears a gray robe; her hair is pulled back and adorned with flowers; her eyes are closed. The platform has a red frame and blue panels with gold designs; a curtain hangs behind the woman; a window with a decorative metal grille is on the left. The bottom of the image shows water with wave patterns. The woman's leg is wrapped in a red and white cloth; a cylindrical object with a handle rests on her stomach. The background behind the platform is teal.
