This print shows three busy scenes with people in bright, patterned clothes. The left panel has a group of men in military uniforms playing drums and talking. The middle panel shows a seated figure on a raised platform handing a cup to a man in black. The right panel has more people standing around, some holding fans and gifts. The background is filled with bold reds, blues, and golds. Notice how the text in the print mixes Japanese characters with a decorative style. The artist used thick outlines and flat colors to keep the scenes clear and lively. Look up Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu next to see more of his work.
