A color woodblock print in a vertical orientation depicts two women in patterned robes washing fabric by a river. To the left, one woman rinses cloth in a wooden tub. To the right, another stoops, pulling a long strip of fabric. Swirling lines convey flowing water near blooming red irises. Japanese calligraphy features in the upper left and bottom right, with a red seal at the bottom left.
