The image depicts a long, narrow Japanese woodblock print. The print is divided into two sections, stacked vertically. In the top section, a woman reclines on a low table or bench, propped on her right elbow. She faces left and wears a kimono, with an under kimono sleeve visible on her right arm. Her hair is styled in an updo and she wears a headband. Behind her, to the left, is a tree and a hill. The woman's kimono has shades of pink and orange. The top section's background fades to beige at the top. The bottom section shows a woman standing and entering or exiting through a doorway. The woman's kimono is reddish-brown with light pink and white designs; she wears a kimono under it. The standing woman faces left; her head is turned and her body slightly turned toward the viewer. The background of the bottom section shows pink and white designs through the doorway. The entire print has a beige background with visible paper texture.
