Drawn Japanese landscape; Mount Fuji is visible in the background and there is a temple on the left of the picture. In the foreground, on the left, an Asian man is smoking a little pipe while holding some rolls. He is made from a cut-out photograph. Behind him, a Caucasian man is pulling a rickshaw where two European women are sitting. The head of the man and the two ladies are cut-out photographs. The man's body and the rickshaw are drawn. Behind them, an Asian man is pulling a rickshaw with two seated Asian ladies. They are all made from cut-out photographs. Some parts of the ladies' kimonos are colored in red, such as the neck and the obi.
