A vertically oriented print in dense black-inked fine lines depicts a central man and woman with light skin tones looking at a paper. Surrounding them are several couples in varied cultural attire, including tunics and Japanese robes, amidst clouds populated by numerous small winged figures. In the lower right, more winged figures cluster around an open book. Detailed hatching and cross-hatching define the forms throughout the elaborate composition.
