A woman with black hair styled in a bun plays a flute on a bridge. She wears an orange kimono with white circles and green accents. A green under kimono is visible at the hem and sleeves. The bridge has wooden railings and stone steps. A mountain range with green foliage and a pink sky are in the background. A white rectangle with Japanese writing is in the upper left corner. A border of foliage and swirls frames the image. More Japanese writing is on the right side. A red seal is in the lower right corner.
