A woman with long black hair sits on green floor with her body angled to the right. She wears a kimono with a green, red, and purple pattern. Her left arm rests on top of an open book beside her on the right. A low table behind her holds two stacked books. A gray circle represents the moon in the top left. Japanese characters are written in black ink around the top and a red seal is in the bottom right corner. A beige floral patterned border surrounds the image.
