This is a Japanese folding screen painting. It depicts a scene inside a traditional Japanese palace or upscale residence.

The screen's right side portrays a part of the room which is beautifully decorated with walls that have alternating geometric patterns of diamonds and stylized florals, and a part of the flooring is covered with tatami mats. An elegantly dressed woman is seated next to a low table, on which rests a small object, possibly a brush or an instrument.

On the left side of the scene, two fearsome-looking mythological creatures, possibly shishi (lion dogs) or dragons, appear to be emerging from or engaged with the structure. They are intricately designed with flowing manes and dynamic postures, adding a sense of movement as they seem to interact with the curtains and building.

Between the creatures and the woman, sheer, decorative curtains with red patterns are drawn back, possibly signifying an unseen barrier between the human and mythical components of the scene.

The entire scene is set above a implied body of water at the very bottom of the image, indicated by bands of blue, with delicate greenery depicted on its banks. This might be a reflection of a palace by the water. Furthermore, the background above the depicted architecture is faded, likely due to time, but hints at a horizon, suggesting an outdoor setting.

The image appears to be a painting, potentially on a scroll or panel, depicting a scene from what looks like Japanese folklore or mythology. The style is traditional with vibrant colors and attention to detail.

The scene takes place inside a building that seems to be a residence or temple, with a tiled floor in a diamond pattern of yellow and white tiles interspersed with red flowers.
