A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts three women with light skin tones leaning over a wooden balcony. Occupying the central area, they wear patterned kimonos in black, green, and purple, looking down toward an umbrella among pink blossoms. To our top right, a lantern hangs beside vertical columns of Japanese calligraphy. A grid-patterned screen forms the background, while a decorative floral border runs across the top edge.
