Okumura Masanobu's "Bedroom Scene" depicts a man and woman in a bedroom setting. The man is lying on his back with his head toward the right side of the image, wearing only a red loincloth. His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left leg is bent at the knee. The woman lies beside him on her side, facing away, with her head resting on her right hand. She wears a brown kimono. They both have their eyes closed. They lie on a patterned mat with a red and yellow blanket pulled up to their waists. Above them, a window looks out onto a landscape with trees and a body of water. A vase with flowers sits on the windowsill. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side of the image.
