Group of Women on the Engawa of a Country House, in the time of the Cherry Blossoming
A group of five women are on an engawa, a type of veranda. Four women wear kimonos and have their hair styled in up-dos; they wear traditional Japanese hats. The woman on the left wears a black and white striped kimono with a red obi; she stands at the engawa's edge. Two women sit on the engawa; one on the right wears a green kimono with white flowers, and plays a shamisen. A woman stands behind her wearing a black kimono, and another woman stands in the engawa's corner wearing a pink kimono. Cherry blossoms are in bloom below the veranda. The background shows a landscape with rolling hills, a river, and mountains. A kite flies in the sky.
