A vertically oriented color woodblock print with delicate lines depicts two women and a child, all with light skin tones, before a massive cliff. One woman in an orange kimono holds a fan aloft, standing beside another in a dark patterned kimono. In the foreground, a barefoot child carries a rolled striped textile. Small figures and trees populate the background landscape. Japanese calligraphy lines the left edge, and a small seal appears below.
