The image depicts four women and a child walking in a line. The women are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, specifically kimonos with long sleeves and sashes. Three women are wearing headpieces with yellow and black decorations. Three of the women are holding black and gold patterned fabric over their left arms. The child is dressed in a pink kimono and stands to the left. The child and the woman on the far left are not wearing the headpieces. The woman in the center wears a pink and white kimono, and the other two women wear gray kimonos with white flower designs. The background shows a building with windows covered by green shutters. A red and white flag or banner is visible on the left. A small wooden structure sits on the ground in front of the group. The color palette is muted, with shades of pink, gray, beige, and black.
