The print depicts four women in traditional Japanese clothing walking through a grove of trees.

This ukiyo-e print exemplifies Toyokuni's artistic talents and offers a glimpse into the daily life of women in Edo-period Japan. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the women’s clothing create a dynamic composition, while the delicate lines of the trees and landscape evoke a sense of tranquility and peace.
