Women stand under large umbrellas. Their kimonos are green and white with patterns. The women wear their hair up and have black footwear. The background shows trees, mountains, and a pathway. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right and left of the artwork and on two vertical banners behind the women. The color palette is predominantly green, black, and beige.
