A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a young man seated between two women. The man and women wear traditional kimonos. The central figure is a bald man wearing a striped kimono. He sits upright while the two women wearing green patterned kimonos sit to either side of him. The woman on his left has her hair styled in a bun with a decorative stick. She gazes down at something in her hands while the woman on the right leans forward to look. A decorative archway frames the group. The background includes a shoji screen with a green and pink patterned border. A color palette bar is at the bottom.
