The Pilgrim's Visiting Album by Tokugawa Ieyasu, shows a hanging scroll with a top section featuring three figures. The left figure stands on a pink lotus flower, wearing a red garment underneath a patterned robe and a teardrop-shaped halo. The middle figure sits cross-legged on a lotus flower, wearing a robe and a round halo; the right figure stands on clouds, wearing a yellow robe with red lining and a round halo. The bottom section features four vertical panels of yellowed paper with black calligraphy. The panels are separated by thin black lines. The artwork has a light brown border around the edges. A black metal clip is visible at the top.
