A Japanese woodblock print titled "Bedroom Scene" by Okumura Masanobu, depicting an intimate moment between a man and a woman. The woman lies on her back on a low bed covered with a yellow striped fabric, with her head resting on a patterned pillow; she is wearing a traditional kimono with orange, black, and white designs, and her hair styled in an updo. The man sits on top of her, with his back to the viewer and his head turned to the side; he is naked. The background includes a sliding door with brown shoji panels, a window with a painted landscape, and a tray with food and drink on a low table. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side of the print. The print has a beige background with visible signs of aging.
