A woman sits on the floor, wearing a green kimono with a pattern of circles. Her hair is styled with pins protruding from the back. A green fabric with wavy edges serves as a skirt or undergarment. A low table beside her holds a small box featuring a pattern and a cylindrical object. A color gradient scale is to her right. A scroll-like piece of paper with writing is in the upper right corner of the artwork. More Japanese writing appears on the right side.
