A group of people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing walking in a line. The people are on a road bordered on one side by a long building with a tiled roof and wooden balcony. Some of the people are wearing kimonos with distinctive patterns. The people on the right are women; the one at the front wears a kimono with a black and light brown pattern, and a large decorative fan. The women have their hair styled in an updo and adorned with accessories. The background shows a few other people and a tree. The image is a woodblock print in black, white, and shades of brown.
