A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts six people with light skin tones on a balcony overlooking water. In the foreground, a man plays a stringed instrument beside a seated woman facing away. Another man holds a small red dish. In the background, a woman in a red-patterned kimono points right, while another in a striped robe leans on a railing. A striped lantern and calligraphy appear at the top above the water.
