A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts three women with light skin tones on a balcony framed by a tiled roof. To our left, a woman in a black striped robe holds a tray. Centered, another leans over a railing toward her. A third woman sits at our right, looking away. Wooden beams separate the women from a townscape sprawling in the background. Calligraphy and a seal mark the left edge.
