A Japanese woodblock print titled 'Bedroom Scene' by Okumura Masanobu, depicting a domestic interior scene. The scene shows a man and a woman on their knees; the woman is wearing a red and white undergarment and the man wears a gray kimono. The woman's back is turned to the viewer; she faces right. The man faces left and looks down at her. The man has a black queue and his hair is styled in a topknot. The man and woman are on a tatami mat floor on what appears to be a veranda. The veranda overlooks a river and a tree with pink blossoms; the sky is light-colored and the moon is visible. The edge of a sliding door is on the right; next to it are two small red boxes or chests and a round tray. The image is bordered by a thin line; there is Japanese writing in several places. The print appears to be on aged paper.
