A vertically oriented ink and color painting depicts a woman with light skin tone facing our right. A large, bell-shaped woven hat obscures her face as she plays a long bamboo flute. She wears a white kimono featuring bold black bands, red leaf patterns, and green circular crests. A large black sash is knotted at her back. Thick black outlines and red accents define her form against a neutral background.
