The scene features multiple levels with people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, mainly in shades of blue, black, and orange. The setting includes pillars, tatami mats in green, and a large hanging scroll on the wall. There are trees with white blossoms and other foliage. Figures are engaged in various activities, some sitting, others standing or moving. The composition is divided into three panels, with the right panel slightly narrower and showing a continuation of the scene.
