There are 4 people on the road; two are wearing loincloths and carrying baskets on their backs, one is wearing a red outfit and a conical hat and carrying a long red pole with a basket on either end, and another person in a yellow outfit, red hat, and carrying a basket. A fence made of wooden posts and rope in the background to the right of the people. There is Japanese writing in black ink throughout the image and a red vertical banner on the right edge.
