The left panel features a raised platform with a tiled red roof; the platform has a green base and supports two ornate, teardrop-shaped objects with circular designs. People in traditional Japanese clothing sit on the platform and on the roof. The right five panels show multiple people in traditional Japanese clothing performing various acrobatic poses and movements with some dragons. The people are dressed in different colored costumes, including white, black, brown, and red. Some of the people are standing, while others are sitting or lying down. The background of the panels is a gold color with a textured appearance. The screen is framed by a thin black border. The artwork is titled "Bugaku Dancers" and attributed to artist Kano Yasunobu.
