The woman on the left kneels on the floor; she has dark hair tucked under a white head covering and wears a kimono with a red and white patterned top and a checkered bottom. A woman in the middle, also with dark hair styled up and wearing a kimono, sits on the floor with one leg bent under her and the other extended. A third woman stands on the right; her hair is also styled up, and she wears a kimono and a headpiece. To the left of the women, there is a column of Japanese text written vertically. In the background, a mountain range and trees are visible through the railing of the balcony or veranda. The railing is made of vertical slats. The print features a color palette that includes shades of red, orange, white, and black on a beige background.
