The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print featuring three people and a bird. The man on the left wears a white robe with a patterned undergarment and a black head covering; he holds a long sword with both hands. The woman in the middle wears a long robe with a floral pattern and a decorative hairpiece; she holds a long-handled fan in her right hand and a bird on a stand in her left hand. The man on the right crouches on one knee, wearing a black robe; he holds a green box with both hands. The background shows a body of water and green land with plants. The sky above appears hazy and light brown. The image has a worn, aged appearance.
