A horizontal woodblock print depicts a night battle in a Japanese mansion. Figures with skin tones the same color as the beige paper engage in combat across a wide wooden veranda. Some wear patterned black robes while others wear light garments. One person clings to a ceiling beam. Beyond open rooms, a dark sky overlooks a garden. Muted grays, pink, and yellow accents highlight the scene. Japanese text lines the right border.
