A woodblock print depicts a woman with light skin tone kneeling during a tea ceremony. Facing left, she wears a patterned gray and green kimono, holding a bamboo ladle over a bowl. A black-framed hearth with a kettle sits in the foreground. Japanese calligraphy (see "Inscriptions") occupies the upper and left sections.
