The Famous Practical Jokers Yajirobei at a Wayside Restaurant
A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene in a restaurant. Three older men with bald heads and white facial hair are present. The man on the left wears a kimono and patterned pants; he leans on a walking stick. A tree and a sign with Japanese characters are behind him. Two low tables are in the center and right of the image. Two men sit at each table. The man on the left sits alone at a table with a pot and food on it. The man on the right sits at a table with another man across from him; a plate is on the table. The background includes a wall with a window and a hanging scroll with Japanese characters. A tree branch hangs above the wall. The image has a thin black border and a thicker red border. The print is on beige paper.
