A traditional Japanese-style building with a tiled roof and open sides. The building has a raised floor and steps leading up to it. Many men, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, are sitting and standing around the building. Some are wearing robes with wide sleeves. The men are of various ages and have different hairstyles, some wearing traditional Japanese headpieces. Two men on the left are wearing conical hats. The background of the image is a light beige color. The image has a black border with a gold pattern, which frames the top and bottom. The scene appears to depict A Nenbutsu Gathering at Ichiya, Kyoto, by Suzuki Harunobu.
