A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on a six-panel gilded screen is crowded with small figures. Shimmering golden clouds drift through green hills and wooden buildings with red and gray roofs. In the lower middle ground, crowds gather near riders on galloping horses racing towards our right. A large red torii gateway stands among dense green pines at far right. Tiny figures populate the landscape, partially obscured by drifting gold.
