The person on the left and the one on the right wear kimonos; the one on the left has a dark gray kimono with light orange trim and a dark obi; the one on the right has a green kimono with gold and pink designs. The person in the middle sits between the other two; they wear a yellow kimono with red and dark orange stripes; they hold a pipe to their mouth with their right hand. The person on the right sits on a low table; they look down at the arm of a geisha; they apply ointment. The background shows tatami flooring and sliding doors with floral designs; a patterned fabric panel hangs on the right; a low window on the left looks outside.
