A vertically oriented color woodblock print depicts a woman in a tan and orange robe bowing toward a man in green robes and a black cap. He holds a cup and tray before a screen showing a crane and red sun. At the upper left, another woman peers from behind a frame, while a top-right inset shows three figures. In the foreground, a drum and bag rest near black calligraphy at the bottom.
