High Climb, woman with shamisen

A woman with a rounded bob hairstyle and ornamental hairpins sits playing a shamisen, her plectrum raised against the strings. She wears a red floral kimono with a black obi over a pink underlayer, seated before a railing overlooking a harbor scene with sailboats, waterside buildings, and a tower under a pale blue sky; a large white paper lantern with black top and bottom bands hangs beside her. The palette is dominated by red, black, and pink against soft blues and tans, with Japanese text printed in the left margin.
