The print depicts two women in traditional Japanese clothing running through a wooded area. The woman in the foreground wears a blue top with white polka dots and a pink skirt underneath, her dark hair pulled back into a bun. She is barefoot and has one leg lifted behind her as if in mid-stride. The woman behind her wears a similar outfit, but with a lighter blue top and darker orange accents. Her hair is also pulled back into a bun, and she appears to be reaching out towards the other woman. The background features several trees with visible roots and trunks, and a city skyline can be seen in the distance. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of gray, beige, and brown dominating the scene. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the print, accompanied by two small seals or stamps, one red and one green.
