Description
A woman in an ornately patterned blue kimono stands before a flowering tree. A box is tucked into the edge of the red kimono she wears beneath the blue one; beneath this we see three white layers. She wears a cluster of gold flowers on each side of her head, and holds a fan behind her face. Her young attendant wears her hair pulled up into two loops behind her head. She wears a simple purple patterned robe and gesticulates at the other woman while holding up the edge of fabric screen tied to the tree.
