The image depicts a group of women on and near a boat on a river at night. The boat on the left has a flat deck with a low railing and a small structure at the back; four women wearing traditional Japanese clothing are on or near it. The woman on the right side of the boat wears a black and white checkered kimono and sits on the deck. Two women in kimonos and headwear stand on the deck; the one on the left wears a short kimono with a floral pattern, and the other wears a long pink kimono. The boat on the right is smaller and has a curved bottom; four women in kimonos are on it, with one standing and three sitting, and they are holding or looking at a large fishing net. The background shows a dark sky, with some waves visible on the river; a structure with a tiled roof is behind the smaller boat. The color palette is muted, with shades of black, white, and pink. The style is traditional Japanese woodblock printing. The scene depicts women net fishing at night on the Sumida River.
