A highly coloured photograph. A group of female figures wearing traditional kimonos and Japanese hair pieces are arranged in a line. Several are holding a rope with a loop in it - a Japanese rope game. A small box is on the floor in the middle of the room with a small dish resting on it. Two female figures are stood in the background of the photograph watching the rope game.
