Colorful illustration of a crowd of men in traditional Japanese clothing. The scene depicts a large group of men gathered outside a building, with some standing and others seated on the ground. Most of the men wear traditional Japanese robes in various colors such as pink, blue, yellow, green, and purple. Black headwear resembling hats or caps is on the heads of nearly all the men. Many of the men hold long thin objects that resemble sticks or swords. A large group of men stands in the background on the left side, while a smaller group is gathered in the foreground on the right side. The building on the right has a tiled floor and white walls with sliding doors. The illustration is printed on a beige background that resembles aged paper. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side of the building and on a small banner on the left side.
