This print shows two figures in colorful, patterned robes. The person on the right wears a tall black hat and a wide-sleeved coat with blue, green, and peach designs. The one on the left plays a stringed instrument, their outfit featuring black-and-white checkered patterns. Both have simple, stylized faces and dark hair tied back. The background is plain, keeping focus on the figures and their bright, flat colors. The text around them is in Japanese, likely adding context or dialogue. Next, look up Ishikawa Toyonobu to see how his style shaped Japanese prints.
