Japanese-style woodblock print depicting a scene with a man and a woman. The man, on the left, wears a green kimono and sits on the floor with his legs tucked under him. The woman, on the right, wears a pink kimono and sits on the floor with her legs tucked under her, her body facing the man. The man and woman sit on either side of a low, black table with a rounded top. The background includes a tokonoma alcove, a recessed area in a traditional Japanese room, containing a decorative panel. A window on the right side of the image looks out onto a snowy scene. A curtain hangs in the upper left corner. Japanese text runs vertically along the left side of the image. The color palette is muted, with shades of green, pink, and beige.
