The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "End of the Year" by Eishōsai Chōki. Four men are shown wearing traditional Japanese clothing, specifically kimonos with red, black, white, and gray colors, and hairstyles tied up. The man on the left wears a head covering and carries a wrapped object on his back. The man on the far right stands facing the left, with his kimono draped over his shoulder. The other two men stand close together, one behind the other, with the man in front holding an object near his face. A cylindrical object, possibly a barrel, is visible behind the men. Japanese characters are written in black ink at the top and left side of the print on a beige background.
