This piece depicts a tea party being held in a zashiki room created in a Chinese style. The woman on the right-hand side is holding a small teapot in front of a stove that is boiling water. She will begin to serve tea out soon. Within the tokonoma (the raised alcove), there are furnishings that one would often see in a sencha tea party, such as hanging scrolls, incense burners, and a flower in the heika (a style of ikebana flower arrangements) style.
