Two-page spread from a book, depicting a scene with multiple men in traditional Japanese clothing. The men wear kimonos in various colors, including yellow, black, gray, and purple. Some men hold fans. The scene appears to be set indoors, with a wall and some plants visible in the background. A window with blinds and a curtain is on the right page. The artwork is done in a traditional Japanese style, with bold lines and vibrant colors. The pages have a beige background with a black border around the artwork. Japanese text is written vertically along the left edge of each page and on the window blind.
