Picture of the Temporary Lodgings of the New Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarter at Ryōgoku (Shin Yoshiwara Karitaku Ryogoku no zu)
Colorful woodblock print depicting a scene of people in traditional Japanese clothing. The scene shows the interior of a building with a large open veranda. The veranda has a railing and a tiled roof supported by wooden beams. There are several people standing on the veranda and in the interior of the building, all wearing traditional Japanese clothing, including kimonos and obis. Some of the people are looking out over the railing, while others are engaged in conversation or going about their daily activities. In the background, there is a body of water with boats and a distant shoreline with buildings. The sky is light-colored with birds flying overhead. The print has a decorative border around the edges, with Japanese text written vertically along the right side. The overall atmosphere of the print is one of relaxation and leisure, with people enjoying the scenery and each other's company.
