Two men in traditional clothing stand on a path in the foreground with two children. One man wears a green jacket and blue pants, the other a dark jacket and purple pants. The blue sky transitions to a beige gradient at the horizon. A red cartouche with black Japanese characters floats in the sky. The background shows a distant cityscape with buildings and trees. A red banner with black Japanese characters hangs vertically on the right.
