Three women with black hair styled in traditional Japanese up-dos, adorned with hairpins and combs. The woman at the top has her head turned to the left, with her hair pulled back and secured with two long hairpins; she wears a kimono with a pink undergarment visible at the neckline. The two women below face right; the woman on the left wears a light-colored kimono and holds a fabric; the woman on the right wears a dark kimono with a pink lining and holds a round fan. The women's hairstyles feature a prominent bun at the back, with a gold band around their forehead; their faces are pale with thin eyebrows and red lips. The background is a faded beige color with some darker marks and a small circular symbol in the upper-left corner; some Japanese text appears vertically along the left edge.
