Japanese woodblock print of three people standing and one child crouching under a thatched roof protruding from a central vertical pole. The two standing are on the left; the one on the far left is a woman with a black hood over her head, wearing a kimono with a gold patterned top and peach-colored bottom; she holds an umbrella in her right hand. The woman next to her on the right wears a black kimono and peach-colored undergarment; she wears a headband and holds a sword. The child crouches on the right, wearing a peach-colored kimono. In the background are a body of water, trees, a mountain, and man-made structures. The color palette is muted with shades of peach, black, gray, and brown on a beige background. Japanese characters are in the top right corner.
