Vertical Japanese-style painting of Niu Myōjin by unknown artist. The painting depicts a woman with long black hair and a white face, wearing a black robe with red and white trim and a red garment underneath. The woman's robe appears to be flowing around her, with red and blue wavy lines behind her. The top section shows a dark background with a large moon, and a body of water with white waves below it. On the water is a short pillar-like structure. The painting has a thick gold border around it, with a decorative design at the top.
