Colorful woodblock print featuring five women on a balcony overlooking water and mountains in the background. The women wear traditional Japanese kimonos in shades of blue, red, and orange with floral patterns. Two of the women have hair adorned with flowers, and one woman's kimono is patterned with brown and blue zigzags. The balcony has a red railing and roof, and two large paper lanterns with pink and white designs hang from the roof. The scene includes trees with orange leaves and a body of water with mountains in the distance. The dark blue sky meets the horizon where the mountains and water meet.
