Beneath a large blue parasol, a group of women and girls in patterned kimono gather on a blossoming cherry tree branch, their figures set against a pale ground with pink and white blossoms overhead. One woman in a white kimono with red accents stands at the center, flanked by others in blue, green, and floral-patterned robes, with a small boat visible in the background. Woodblock print titled "Sakura" by Ogata Gekko.
