This woodblock print shows a woman in a kimono, her eyes closed. Her kimono is peach with green and orange flowers, and she wears a headband and an obi around her waist. The kimono's long sleeves are tied back, and the obi has a large bow in the back. The woman's hair is styled in an updo with chopsticks and a comb. The print is a beautiful example of Japanese art.
