Black and white drawing of a scene with four women. A woman stands on the right facing left in a kimono with a curvy design; in the middle, a woman walks on the left side of another woman who holds a pipe-like object. On the left, the woman on the right wears a kimono with a flower pattern; she faces a woman on a tiled platform who sits on the right side and looks left. A staircase with a railing leads up to the platform on the right. The background shows a flat area with rectangular panels on the wall, and on the right side a large circular object sits on a higher platform connected by the staircase. The paper has a white border, is aged beige with darker edges, and has signs of folding.
