Detailed Description
The horizontal artwork depicts a series of interconnected scenes featuring figures within and near wooden buildings and natural landscapes, rendered on a light brown background. The composition is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, flowing from left to right. On the far left, inside a raised wooden building with a dark roof, several figures are seated on red and green cushions. Some figures wear patterned robes and styled hair, while others are less adorned. A large figure in a red robe sits on the floor in the foreground. The interior features screens and a patterned ceiling border. Moving right, the building continues with multiple rooms, each separated by screens. In these rooms, groups of figures are seated on green mats, performing various actions. Some figures appear to be conversing, while others hold small objects. The wooden structure extends outwards, creating a veranda. Further to the right, two figures are seated on a raised platform overlooking a blue stream or pond that winds through the landscape. Below the platform, the outdoor scene unfolds with a small white building with a dark roof and several green pine trees with brown trunks. In the lower middle and right sections, various figures are depicted outdoors. Two figures in patterned robes walk together, one holding a fan. Near a small wooden gate, a figure sits on a green mat, while another figure is nearby. Further right, two figures are engaged in a physical interaction, possibly a sword fight, with one figure lunging forward and the other kneeling, both holding swords. The stream continues to flow through this section, bordered by rocks and vegetation.
