A woodblock print depicts three women in traditional Japanese kimonos standing on a road. The woman on the left wears a red kimono; the woman in the middle wears a white kimono with red flowers; and the woman on the right wears a red and white kimono. They are standing on a gray road with green grass. Behind them are several tall, thin trees with green foliage at the top. The background is gray and hazy, with more trees and a torii gate visible. Two vertical strips of paper with Japanese writing are on either side. The print has a beige background with a black border.
