A traditional Japanese-style woodblock print titled "Bed-clothing" by Ryūryūkyo Shinsai. The artwork features a stack of bedding and clothing, predominantly with a blue knitted blanket on top with two white flowers; underneath the blanket is a patterned fabric with a bird and plant design on the right and a blue and white checkered fabric on the left. The stack rests on a reddish-orange sheet or blanket that is folded over twice; two white sticks are underneath. The background of the print is beige with Japanese writing in black and a red butterfly; a small piece of paper at the top reads "1938".
