The woman on the bottom left holds an open fan. A hat rests beside her. The two women on the right on the bottom step hold fans. The woman on the middle left holds a closed fan. A large bell hangs from a tree on the right. A railing borders the stairs on the left and right. Pine trees are visible behind the railing. Japanese characters are printed on the right.
