Visual Summary

Brief Description

Two figures in kimonos holding fans, framed by checkered and patterned borders on a gold background

Detailed Description

Two panels depict standing figures on a gold background, framed by decorative borders. The overall background of both panels is a shimmering gold, with subtle horizontal lines and variations in tone. Each figure is positioned centrally within its respective panel. The left panel shows a figure with long, dark hair, wearing a kimono with wide sleeves. The kimono is patterned with horizontal stripes in shades of light blue, green, pink, and brown. The figure holds a white fan with a gold design in their right hand, extended slightly to the side. Their body is angled slightly to the right. The right panel shows a second figure, also with long, dark hair, wearing a white kimono adorned with a vibrant pattern of colorful flowers and geometric shapes in green, red, blue, and gold. This figure holds a white fan with a gold design in their left hand, raised above their head. Their body is angled slightly to the left. Both figures are enclosed by an inner border featuring a checkerboard pattern of alternating dark gray and gold squares. This checkerboard border is then surrounded by a wider, outer border that is gold with an intricate, subtle pattern of leaves and flowers in a slightly darker gold or brown hue.
