The image depicts a traditional Japanese scene. The scene shows a group of people on a raised wooden floor and an adjacent interior room. The raised floor has a railing around it and a sloping roof supported by yellow pillars, with red roof tiles and tassels hanging down. Six people are on the raised floor, wearing traditional Japanese clothing; two are standing and four are sitting on the floor. The adjacent room has a green floor, a low table with objects on it, and a large window or sliding door with a white curtain. One person wearing traditional clothing sits on the green floor of the room. The background shows a body of water and a full moon. A sign with Japanese writing is on a pillar on the right side.
