Japanese woodblock print with a nude man and woman. The man is sitting on the floor with one knee bent. He has dark hair and is bare-chested; a striped cloth covers his lower body. The woman is on the floor beside him, facing away; she is partially clothed. In the background are two wooden barrels with black bands; one is filled with water. A wooden deck or floor with slats is beneath the figures; the background shows a second level with supports; smoke rises from below. Japanese characters are on the left and right. The artwork is titled "Bedroom Scene" and by Okumura Masanobu.
