This painting portrays Tsuneyo Sano cutting branches from an apricot tree to stoke the fire for Tokiyori Hojo, who is sitting in front of the hearth. Since Tsuneyo is lifting a fan instead of a sword, this signifies it is the portrayal of a scene from a play. A characteristic that makes this piece unique is the fact that it uses bamboo instead of cherry trees.
