A triptych Japanese woodblock print depicting a procession. The procession is led by mounted guards on brown horses wearing dark red and yellow uniforms and carrying spears. They are followed by foot soldiers wearing striped robes and hats. Behind them, a large ornate red carriage with a black roof and golden accents is pulled by two brown horses, accompanied by attendants and additional foot soldiers. The carriage and people are on a brown dirt road. In the background, there is a stone bridge with arches over a body of water, and a stone wall with a building on top to the left. Buildings and a tall red tower are visible to the right. The sky is blue and fades to white at the horizon. The print is bordered in beige.
