The Shika Teahouse by Utagawa Toyokuni shows a group of women in traditional Japanese clothing. Three women are prominently featured. The woman on the left wears a long, brown kimono with a patterned obi and a black hat. The woman in the middle wears a black kimono with a yellow obi and black hat. The woman on the right sits on a platform, wearing a light-colored kimono with an orange obi and a black hat. A small girl crouches behind the woman on the left, holding a tray with cups. In the background, there is a fenced-in garden or aviary with trees and birds. A roofed structure is visible behind the fence. The image has a sepia tone and appears to be a woodblock print. Japanese characters are printed in the bottom-right corner.
