Detailed Description
The artwork features five women in patterned robes against a plain, light tan background. The top edge of the image has a decorative border with vertical green and gold stripes. The left and right edges also have borders, with small blue, purple, and orange squares scattered along them. A faint, light-colored pattern is subtly visible in the tan background on the left and right sides. On the far left, a woman kneels, facing right. She wears a green kimono with a floral pattern and a light blue undergarment. Her black hair is styled upwards, and her face is pale. To her right, another woman kneels, wearing a dark purple kimono with a subtle pattern. She holds a thin brush or tool over a small, dark dish. Several small dishes and cups are arranged on the floor between these two women. Above and slightly to the right of the kneeling women, a woman stands, facing downwards and slightly to the left. She wears a dark green kimono with a red collar and a black skirt patterned with bamboo motifs. Her elaborate black hair is adorned with multiple gold, comb-like ornaments. Below the standing woman, two more women are seated. The one on the left wears a brown kimono with a blue patterned undergarment. She holds a small, dark object in her hands. To her right, the final woman reclines slightly, supported by a green and blue patterned cushion. She wears a bright red kimono and looks towards the left. All women have pale faces and dark, styled hair. A red seal is visible in the bottom right corner.
