The image shows a group of elderly Asian women standing together and clapping their hands in unison. They are all wearing traditional Japanese clothing, with one woman wearing a brown kimono and another wearing a black robe. The woman in the center of the image is holding a brown book with Chinese writing on it, and appears to be reading it intently. The other women around her are also clapping and appear to be listening attentively. The background is dark, suggesting that the photo was taken at night.
