The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "Two Girls Collect New Year's Herbs" by Kubo Shunman. The print features two young girls outdoors. The girl on the right wears a red kimono with a black and blue obi, white socks, and black geta. She bends over to pick herbs. The girl on the left wears a light-colored kimono and has her hair in a bun; she holds a basket. They stand on a grassy area with a tree and a large rock behind them. A body of water is visible in the background. The print includes Japanese text on the left side, written vertically. A red seal or stamp is in the bottom-right corner. The background of the print is beige, with a white border around it.
