Carp Banners in Kyoto

About this work

This painting shows two large, colorful carp banners flying high in the sky. They are black and orange with big eyes and mouths. Below them, people are walking on a street with buildings on either side. The sky is light blue with some clouds. In the foreground, there is a stone statue of a dog on the right side. The street has people walking, some on foot and others on horseback. The scene looks like it's set in a Japanese city.
