A tall, narrow Japanese woodblock print with a light brown background. Two women stand on a wooden floor indoors, facing left. The woman in front wears a red and gray kimono with a low neckline. The woman behind wears a pink kimono with a dark obi. The woman in front leans her head on the shoulder of the woman behind her. The woman behind looks down at the woman in front. The interior room has a brown and gold screen on the left and a sliding door on the right with a design of vertical wood slats. The women appear to be on a balcony or veranda with a railing. In the background, people are on a beach along a body of water with boats. The sky has a few birds flying in it. The women's hair is styled in traditional Japanese fashion. The clothing and hairstyles are from the 18th century. The overall color palette is muted with shades of pink, red, gray, brown, and tan.
