A woman in a multi-colored kimono stands on an elevated platform in the back. Seven people sit on the floor around a low table, wearing green, blue-gray, and green-gray kimonos with wide yellow obis. A man sits on a raised platform, wearing a white kimono and hat, and plays a drum. A hanging scroll with Japanese writing is on the left wall. A window with a patterned curtain and shoji screens is on the right wall. A woman in a kimono stands near the window. A beige wall plaque with Japanese text is on the right. The artwork is by Yashima Gakutei.
