Detailed Description
A horizontal artwork depicts a procession of figures moving from left to right across two distinct areas. On the far left, two figures are seated on a light-colored mat within an interior space. One figure, facing right, wears a dark top and an orange skirt, kneeling with their back to the viewer. The other figure, facing left, wears a grey and white robe, seated with legs tucked. Between them is a low, dark table holding small, dark vessels. To the right, a group of nine figures, predominantly women, walk on a raised, light-colored pathway that slopes upwards. The pathway is bordered by thin, dark railings and surrounded by small trees with white and light-pink blossoms. The figures are dressed in elaborate, multi-colored kimonos with intricate patterns. One figure, dressed in a green kimono, holds a dark umbrella with a white pattern over another figure in a red and green kimono. Many figures have elaborate hairstyles adorned with flowers or pins. The background is a light, muted beige, with hints of a light blue sky above the garden scene.
