She has a black and orange headpiece on her head, with black hair pulled back. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, and her left arm is covered by the kimono. She wears a pair of geta-style sandals. The background features a light-colored wall, wooden floorboards, and a depiction of water with wavy lines. A section of engawa, a traditional Japanese veranda, is visible behind her.
