Seki

A traditional Japanese woodblock print. The scene is a large room with a wood floor on the right side and blue ground on the left; men carry poles with boxes hanging from them. The men wear robes in shades of gray, blue, purple, and orange; some are barefoot, some wear socks, and some wear sandals. The men on the right side of the image crouch on the floor in a row; in the background, more men carry baskets on their backs. The background shows a large awning and several buildings with tiled roofs. The awning and building roofs are shades of gray and orange. The print's color palette includes shades of blue, gray, purple, orange, and yellow. The image includes Japanese characters written vertically on the right side and horizontally at the bottom left. A red vertical banner with Japanese characters hangs on a pillar on the right edge.
