A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts three women with light skin tones in a riverside landscape. On the left, a woman in a lavender kimono holds a dipper. In the center, another carries pails on a shoulder pole, wearing a fringed skirt over her robe. A third woman stands behind them, looking away. In the background, a winding river flows past thatched houses and flying birds. Muted colors and delicate lines define the scene.
