A horizontally oriented woodblock print triptych depicts eight women with light skin tones aboard a wide pleasure boat. From left to right, a woman stands at the bow holding a pink garment over her head, five women sit under a central roof with tea and a stove, and one stands at the stern. Fine lines outline patterned kimonos against churning water and a distant landscape with sparse trees under a pale, vast sky.
