A vertically oriented print depicts two women with light skin tones in a boat on a river. One stands centrally, holding a pink garment over her head and wearing a patterned kimono with a black sash. To her right, another sits playing a hand drum. The boat features black and pink panels decorated with calligraphy and a floral crest. In the background, birds fly over a low shoreline beneath a pale sky.
