The woman seated on the tatami mat holds a Japanese long pipe, and the object in front of her appears to be a device for stretching the cotton material she is working with. The person on the left appears to be a male.

Shifting our gaze to the folding screen in the background, two cranes are depicted in a position mirroring the two people. Are they lovers, or has he just come to sell his goods wrapped in the cloth on his lap?

Any comments are welcome.
