The image depicts a scene with four people and a torii gate. A man and woman wear traditional Japanese clothing with green, red and white colors; the man holds a shield with a black and white design; the woman wears a kimono with a red and green design, her right arm raised. A child in a red and green kimono kicks the man; another child in a dark kimono with white dots jumps. A red torii gate and two trees are in the background on a small hill; a white banner with black Japanese characters hangs on the left. The artist's name, Ishikawa Toyomasa, and the title, The Second Month, are associated with the image.
