The image is a collage of two prints and a color gradient ruler. The left half of the image contains the prints. The top print features a woman wearing a kimono and holding a fan. The kimono has a white, blue, brown, and orange floral pattern. The woman's kimono covers her right shoulder and arm. A shamisen sits on the floor beside her right leg. The bottom left print depicts a dark blue scene with a large wave cresting to the right. A gray semi-circle obscures the center. The background behind the woman is gray. A border surrounds both prints made of off-white paper with red Japanese characters on the top left. A red floral pattern runs vertically on the right side. A gray to black color gradient ruler with black letters sits on a white surface on the right half.
