The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print. The print features a woman sitting on the floor, wearing a long, flowing robe with a green background and pink and red floral patterns. The woman has dark hair pulled back into a bun with a red hairpin, and her face is white with black eyebrows and lips. She sits on the floor in a traditional Japanese room, looking into a rectangular mirror with an ornate green frame. The mirror reflects the woman's image. The woman's kimono sleeves and hem are spread out around her. A small, rectangular box sits on the floor to her right. To her left is a low table with a small lantern on it. The background of the print includes a bamboo plant with long, thin branches and a hanging pink object, possibly a gourd or a decoration. The print also features several lines of Japanese text written vertically along the right edge and a small section of text at the top right. The background of the print is a light beige color.
