The image depicts a woodblock print of three men struggling to walk in the rain. The men are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with two wearing short blue pants and one wearing white pants. They each carry a large straw hat or umbrella-like object. The man on the left wears a white shirt and brown pants; he holds a long stick in his right hand and a brown hat in his left. The middle figure wears a white shirt and blue shorts, with a brown hat. The man on the right wears a blue shirt, blue shorts, and no hat; he holds a large fan-shaped object in both hands. The background features a gray sky with rain falling from it, and trees are visible on a hillside to the right. A red seal is located in the bottom-left corner, and Japanese characters appear in the top-left corner. The print has a beige border around it.
