The scene depicts three men. The man on the right sits on the floor with knees bent and back straight, wearing an orange kimono with black designs; a black head covering is on his head. The man on the left stands on a structure; he wears a blue, gold, and red kimono. The man in the center stands between the other two; he is wearing a blue, gold, and red kimono; his face is obscured by a mask. The background is beige with Japanese writing in black and red ink. The men appear to be on a stage.
