This is a print of a woman seated on the floor.  Behind her is a set of stairs and to the left of her is a red standing lantern. In the front left corner is a partial image of an ink set with brushes and inkstone. The actor is dressed in a kimono of two distinct patterns. Near the base of the kimono and the end of the sleeves the cloth is checkered with blue and black. The second layer of fabric is red with white stripes. The base of the kimono is bordered grey, and a piece of a grey sash with white dots can be seen.  She is holding a brush in her right hand while a scroll with writing is held in her left hand which drapes down over her knee and onto the floor.<br /><br />
