A woman wearing a kimono sits on a tatami mat floor playing a koto. The woman sits cross-legged on a thick tatami mat floor with her head bowed down and her hair tied up and secured with pins. The woman's kimono has a pattern on it. The tatami mat floor takes up most of the scene; a low table with a pot on it sits to her right edge. A pillar to her left edge has a plant pattern on it; she sits near an open shoji screen. The image is in black and white with some grey shading.
