The buildings are two to three stories tall and have tiled roofs. Many have vertical banners hanging from them. Some have signs with Japanese characters on them. The street is filled with people, mostly men, but some women and children are also present. They are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with many wearing kimonos. Some people are walking and some are standing still. The sky above is cloudy and gray. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of blue, beige, and brown. Japanese characters are written vertically on the top left.
