Detailed Description
A vertical image depicts two figures in kimonos against a plain, light beige background. The image is framed by a decorative border, with a dark brown band at the top and bottom, and a textured gray and gold pattern along the sides. The figure on the left faces right, wearing a black kimono with red and green floral patterns on the sleeves and lower half. A white undergarment is visible at the neck and wrists, and a red sash is tied around the waist. The figure on the left wears light blue pants and light-colored sandals. A large white bundle is carried on their back, secured by a white head covering. In the figure's hands are two small, round, golden objects, possibly cymbals, and a dark red, textured object. The figure on the right faces left, wearing a kimono with a light blue and black geometric or wave-like pattern, accented with red. They hold a white fan with a red design in their right hand. The figure on the right has a dark, elaborate hairstyle, and a sword hilt protrudes from their waist. Both figures have light skin tones. In the upper right portion of the background, a green pine branch extends downwards. In the lower right, vertical black text is visible with a red seal beneath it.
