A woman wearing a patterned kimono walks toward a gate. A girl holds the woman's kimono. The woman wears a head covering. Both have their hair pulled up. They walk on a small hill with grass. A tree grows on the hill. A building with a tiled roof and a gate made of wood are on the right. The background fades to cream. The image includes Japanese writing throughout.
