Print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. The image depicts a woman sitting on the floor leaning against a wall on the left. She has dark hair with two yellow sticks on top and wears a red under kimono. She has a blue and black striped kimono wrapped around her body and a yellow kimono over her legs. The woman's left elbow is resting on her knee and her head resting on her left hand. In front of her on the floor to the left is a small table with a blue and white bowl filled with food and a blue and white bottle. The background features a green wall on the left and a green outdoor scene on the right with trees and pink flowers. The flowers also hang down from the top of the image. There are several Japanese characters written vertically on the wall to the left and a red sign with Japanese characters on the right. The image has a beige border around it.
