Lady Arranging Binsashi (Support for the Hair over the Temples) to put in Her Hair
A woman is crouched down; she wears a kimono with a predominantly brown base color and an orange and green pattern along the bottom half. A green and white patterned collar. She has long black hair; a gold hair ornament; and her face is tilted down. To her right is a decorative black vanity with a gold flower design on the mirror; on her left a large brown pot with a utensil sitting inside. A small red kettle sits on the floor behind the pot. A large floral wreath hangs on the wall behind her; the wall has a beige background.
