The image depicts a triptych print of a large brick building with a fountain in front. The building is three stories with a black roof, and red brick walls. There are many windows on the building, all with green trim. A large fountain sits in front of the building, with water spraying up from it. People are standing around the fountain and in front of the building. Some people are wearing traditional Japanese clothing, while others appear to be wearing Western-style clothing. There are trees and lamp posts around the area. The sky above the building is red. The print has a decorative border around the edges. The print appears to be a woodblock print. The composition consists of three panels side by side. The scene appears to be set in a park or garden, with a large open area in front of the building.
