A horizontal woodblock print in muted green and orange depicts a bustling night scene. Beneath a solid black sky, people in kimonos engage in various activities while walking between two-story buildings. Some carry lanterns or boxes. A pale banner spans the middle ground, while Japanese script features on a vertical banner to the right. The dense crowd fills the street, receding into the distance between the structured buildings.
