A vertical woodblock print on beige-brown paper depicts a city street at night. Traditional dark buildings with glowing lanterns and windows frame a damp road. Three people with light skin tones inhabit the middle ground: two by a colorful fruit stall on the right and one facing away on the left. Rain-slicked pavement reflects shimmering pools of warm light. Columns of Japanese calligraphy flank the left margin, while handwritten labels appear along the bottom.
