A three-part print depicting noble ladies watching a festival parade from the shelter of a room. The women have a selection of food while beautifully dressed in formal kimonos for the occasion. Outside two men are carrying a large war drum with a rooster on top. The symbol of a roster and drum was seen to represent peace and prosperity as the war drum would no longer be needed.
