The image shows a sketch of four men. One man on all fours wearing a traditional headpiece with a long tail; another on his back with legs raised; a third on all fours with left arm raised; and a fourth on his back with legs raised towards the first man. The men are on a beige, aged paper, likely from a sketchbook. The sketches are in dark brown pencil. The men wear traditional Japanese clothing. The scene depicts a farting contest.
