A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene with two men. The man on the left stands wearing a blue and gold robe with a circular crest; his robe billows around him. He looks down at the seated man on the right. The seated man wears a similar robe and appears to be looking up at the standing man. The background features a building with a tiled roof and sliding doors. Smoke is visible on the left side. The color palette includes blue, gold, and black on a beige background. Japanese characters are written at the bottom.
