A vertically oriented stencil print on tan paper is crowded with thirteen figures with light skin tones. At bottom center, a monk in black and red robes sits in a chair. Above him, twelve Buddhas with circular halos are tiered on swirling clouds. Several figures are accented with bright red garments, while others are rendered in fine black ink. Patterned borders flank the scene, set against a dark, aged background.
