The deck has a low railing and is supported by thin pillars. Several people wearing traditional Japanese clothing are on the deck and in the building. A woman in a green jacket and blue pants stands on the deck holding a tray. A man and woman sit on the deck near the right edge. Inside the building, a person reclines on a red and white blanket. Trees and plants are on the left side of the deck. The background shows a yellow sky and a second-story balcony with people. Japanese characters are written vertically on a red banner on the right edge of the roof. The print features a color palette of blues, greens, and browns.
