Thirteen women are playing or enjoying music in an interior scene. One woman is playing the koto (琴) (left), one is playing a transverse flute (middle), and one is playing an ichigenkin (一絃琴) or monochord (right). There is a gold-backed floral folding screen (byōbu; 屏風) in the back of the room featuring peony and a pheasant. The windows are open to show a winter garden landscape complete with plum blossoms (ume; 梅). This particular print makes a strong use of akaline red in the carpet and kimono of the women.
