Colorful woodblock print depicts two people on a patterned rug. The person on the left stands wearing a red, gray and white kimono. They use both hands to pull up the black kimono of a kneeling person on the right. The kneeling person wears a pink and gray kimono with pink and gold accents. Their black hair is styled in a long tail. Their right hand holds the standing person's kimono and their left hand grips the floor. A gold patterned oval rug fills the bottom of the image under the kneeling person. The background transitions from black above to tan below. Japanese text appears vertically on both sides and horizontally on the right.
