Two women in traditional Japanese kimonos standing on water. The woman on the left wears a red, green, and yellow kimono with a matching parasol in her right hand; her hair styled up with pins and feathers. The woman on the right wears a purple kimono with green and gold accents; her hair styled up with pins and flowers. Both women have black hair. The background features green waves and a beige sky with Japanese writing throughout. A red seal stamp appears on the right edge, and a narrow red vertical text block on the upper-right.
