A color woodblock print depicting a scene from Japanese literature. In the foreground, a group of four men wearing traditional samurai clothing are gathered around a large fire. The man to the left is crouched down and holds a long object. To his right, another man sits on the ground. Two men stand on the right side of the fire, one holding a stick or branch. The men wear blue and red clothing with white or beige haori. Behind the men, a large tree with white branches and blue leaves dominates the right side. A beige rectangle with Japanese text is in the upper right corner. The background features a gray sky and dark mountains. The entire scene is framed by a beige border.
