The painting depicts a group of men sitting on the floor. The men wear traditional Japanese clothing, including kimonos and black headpieces. They are seated in a crowded arrangement, with some men sitting cross-legged and others sitting with their legs tucked under their bodies. The background is gold with a green and white section on the right. A red, blue, and white patterned border runs diagonally across the top left. The men appear to be in a state of disarray, with papers scattered around them. The overall composition suggests a scene of chaos or disorder, with the men seemingly engaged in a lively discussion or argument.
