This woman is performing the Momijigari dance, which is done in autumn using branches of red maple as props. She has partially undone her outer robe to reveal one sleeve of the red garment she wears underneath. Red maple leaves can be found as a motif indicating autumn throughout painting and the decorative arts in Japan.
