People fill the street, most of them dressed in robes and kimonos, a few carry cylindrical lanterns on a handle. Some people spill out of a doorway on the left. Many of the women have their kimono obi sash tied in the front. A wooden canopy structure stretches across the street, like a gateway. A man on the right carries away two large boxes on a stick across his left shoulder while looking around. Colors of the print include deep green, salmon-pink or faded red, light browns, and black. Vertical black calligraphy is drawn along the right edge.
