A woman in traditional Japanese clothing with her hair pulled back, reading a rectangular piece of paper. The woman wears a kimono with a pattern of trees and flowers. The kimono has a striped undergarment visible at the bottom. The woman stands on one leg, with the other foot resting on the ground in front of her. The rectangular piece of paper she reads appears to have some writing on it. The woman's head is tilted down, and she is focused on the paper. The color scheme of the image is predominantly black and white with some red accents. There are several stamps on the right of the image with writing on. The background is an off-white color.
