This image is a traditional Japanese woodblock print, a style known as ukiyo-e, which became particularly popular during the Edo period. It depicts a row of figures in traditional Japanese attire carrying what appear to be palanquins (or mikoshi, which are portable shrines commonly used in festivals). The bearers, likely men, are shown upside-down as they are suspended above a river or sea, while the palanquins they carry remain upright. This creates a humorous and visually intriguing effect, as the bearers' hats and the palanquins are on different planes of the image.

The scene is rendered in a stylized manner with defined outlines and flat areas of color, which is characteristic of the ukiyo-e technique. The sky is depicted with streaks that suggest wind or movement, and the use of red and yellow accents captures attention and adds vibrance to the scene. There is Japanese text in the upper right-hand corner, which could indicate the title of the piece or the artist's signature, a common feature in Japanese prints.
