The Fourth Month (from the series Fashionable Monthly Visits to Temples in the Four Seasons)
The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The scene shows four women in traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, and hairstyles, with the tallest woman positioned to the left and the others to her right. The woman on the left bends over and writes on a paper on a low table with a long-handled brush. The second woman from the left wears an orange kimono with a patterned under-kimono. The two women to her right are smaller in stature, with the one on the far right holding an object. The background features a tiled roof with pine tree branches, and a wall with a red seal and Japanese writing. The dominant colors are beige, brown, orange, and black, with subtle hints of pink. A few scattered pink flowers and leaves are on the ground.
