A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts three women in traditional clothing. The woman on the left wears a black kimono with white floral designs and a matching hat. She faces right. Two women on the right wear kimonos and face right; one wears green and the other brown. They appear to be kneeling on a bench. A tiled roof covers a structure behind them. In the background, a hill, trees, and a stone lantern are visible.
