The kneeling woman in the foreground wears a black kimono with a small white floral pattern and an orange undergarment. The woman on the right wears a pink and white checkered kimono. They are standing on a green floor. A white box and an orange cloth are on the floor. In the background, there are trees, a building with a tiled roof, and several people. A tall fence made of wood is on the right side. A vertical sign with Japanese characters is on the left side.
