About this work

This print shows two groups of women in long robes and tall hairdos. On the left, they’re gathered around a red chest outside a building with a big tree nearby. The right side shows them inside, standing near a black-and-white patterned wall with tall windows. Their clothes have bright colors and fancy patterns. The women seem to be on a trip, maybe visiting a temple or shrine. The outside scene has a fence and a few distant figures walking, while the inside looks like a quiet, decorated room.
