The print depicts four women in traditional Japanese clothing sitting on a green floor. The women are wearing kimonos with vibrant colors and patterns. Three women are sitting on the floor with their legs folded, while one woman sits on a low platform or bench. The room features a tiled roof, a wall with sliding doors made of wood and paper, and two pink lanterns hanging from the ceiling with black Japanese characters. The walls are teal at the top and have a grid pattern. The floor is green. The women appear to be engaged in an activity, possibly playing a game or having a conversation. The overall scene suggests a traditional Japanese setting, likely from the Edo period. The print is by Utagawa Kunisada.
