Detailed Description
A horizontal scroll painting depicts numerous figures, including adults and children, engaged in various activities against a plain, light cream background. The figures are dressed in kimonos, featuring a wide array of colors such as greens, reds, blues, whites, browns, oranges, and yellows, often adorned with floral or geometric patterns. At the far left, three figures are visible. A woman in a green and gray kimono with red accents carries a child on her back. Beside her, another woman in a green and brown kimono stands facing a table. A small child in striped clothing stands between them. To their right, a bald man in a green and red striped kimono holds a white lantern with a black circular symbol above his head. He stands behind a light-colored table that holds two white barrels, each bearing the same black circular symbol, along with several small blue and white cups. Next to this group, a man in a white kimono and a green conical hat holds a small doll and green foliage. He stands next to a large wooden barrel. Behind him, another man in a dark kimono is positioned near a wooden structure, possibly a game or display. Several children and adults surround this structure, some interacting with it. One child, dressed in a red and white kimono, kneels on the ground. Further to the right, a group of figures gathers around a man in a blue and white outfit who carries a large, rectangular, open-sided box on his shoulder. The box contains small figures or objects. Several women and children are present, with some reaching towards the box or observing its contents. A child in a brown and red kimono reaches upwards. The scene concludes at the far right with two figures: a woman in a white kimono with floral patterns, and a bald figure in a yellow and orange kimono, holding a tray.
