The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Three women are standing, viewed from the front and slightly angled. The woman on the left wears a brown kimono with a light brown shawl and holds a fan in her right hand. Her hair is styled in a bun, adorned with a brown hairpiece. The middle woman sports a green kimono with pink accents and touches her hair with her right hand. The woman on the right dons a white kimono with pink and gray stripes, her head bowed. In the background, a mountainous landscape with trees is visible. A vertical banner with Japanese characters appears on the right side. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner. The print's background is a light beige color.
