The Shika Teahouse by Utagawa Toyokuni depicts a group of women in traditional Japanese clothing. The scene shows thirteen women in total; most are wearing kimonos and some are wearing headpieces. The women are standing or sitting on platforms outdoors; some are on the left side of the image, others are on the right. The platform on the left side of the image has a tree trunk on the left edge; the platform on the right side appears to have a railing. Some women are interacting with each other; a woman near the right edge holds a tray. In the background, there are trees, a building and several structures made of wood and wire mesh. A fence separates the background from the foreground. The color palette is muted with shades of beige, brown, green and black. The image appears to be a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The composition spans two panels. The scene appears to be set in a garden outdoors.
