Rikiya and Konami, from the series A Program with Music about Loving Couples (Ongyoku hiyoku no bangumi)
The image shows a traditional Japanese woodblock print featuring two women. The woman on the left stands, wearing a long, light-colored robe with brown sleeves and a dark hair bun. Her head is bowed and her right hand touches her face. The woman on the right kneels on a round mat with a floral pattern, wearing a long orange robe with a cream-colored sash and a black and cream hat. She looks up to her left and holds the standing woman's robe. A sword with a decorated handle lies on the ground to the left, next to a folded cloth. The background is a mottled light brown color, with Japanese characters written vertically on the right side and horizontally at the top right.
