The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Three women are shown wearing traditional Japanese kimonos. The woman on the left wears a tan kimono with green trim and a black and white obi; she has a tan obi around her waist and her hair styled up with a stick through it. The woman in the middle wears a long gray kimono with orange trim and a black obi; her hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. The woman on the right sits on the ground in a peach-colored kimono; she has her hair styled up with a flower tucked behind her ear. The background includes some greenery and a wave design in shades of gray and beige. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of beige, gray, black, and peach. The print appears aged, with a textured surface.
