A vertically oriented dye transfer color print depicts a girl with a light skin tone in profile facing our right. Her elaborate black updo features white flowers, a gold comb, red ribbons, and a yellow sprig of rice. She wears a purple patterned kimono with a visible red and gold collar. In the blurred, dim background, another figure in a white headpiece stands before dark wooden buildings lining a narrow street.
