A vertical woodblock print features four figures with light skin walking right against wooden slats. Centrally, the courtesan Kisagata wears a maroon and cream kimono with a large black and gold sash. Flanking her, two women wear dark gray floral kimonos. On the left, a girl in maroon looks back. Staggered columns of Japanese calligraphy occupy the upper right and lower corners, and a lantern stands on the far left.
