Detailed Description
A tall, narrow, vertical image shows a full-length figure of a woman against a plain, light tan background. Decorative borders frame the top and bottom of the image, featuring blue and gold patterns resembling clouds or waves. The woman stands slightly to the right of center, facing right, with her head turned slightly to look towards the viewer. She has a pale complexion, small red lips, and dark hair styled in an elaborate updo adorned with red and gold hairpins. She wears a long, flowing green kimono that appears to have a subtle, faint pattern. Beneath the green kimono, layers of fabric are visible, including a white layer, a vibrant red layer, and a light tan layer. Her sash, or obi, is patterned with blue floral or cloud motifs on a white background, tied with a red bow at her waist. She holds a large, open umbrella over her left shoulder. The umbrella has a black canopy with small white speckles, and tan ribs with red accents. Her hands are visible, holding the umbrella handle. Her feet are clad in white, and she wears black, geta-like sandals. Black calligraphic text with a red square seal is visible in the lower left portion of the tan background.
