A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts four women with light skin tones in an interior overlooking a garden. In the foreground, one woman kneels to examine a textile pattern near stacks of fabric. To the left, another woman stands holding a large roll. On the right, two women sit, one holding papers. Calligraphy fills a cloud shape at the top. Robes and landscape features are rendered in muted orange, green, and cream.
