The print designer’s name is in a red form on each of the three prints forming this composition, while the names of important figures pictured are in yellow rectangles.
A horizontal color woodblock print triptych depicts hunters with light skin tones near snow-capped Mount Fuji. In the center, figures struggle on the back of a large black boar. To the left, a man sits beneath a red parasol. Hunters on brown and white horses wear blue, orange, and green robes. Dogs and deer run in the foreground. Vertical cartouches with calligraphy appear throughout the blue and gray landscape.
