Description
A crowd of caricatured elderly figures with exaggerated bald heads and wrinkled faces kneels on a green floor, eating and serving noodles from black bowls on low trays, some using chopsticks, one pair passing a bowl hand to hand; a bare-chested woman with red-daubed cheeks sits at left beside a tray of sliced food. Behind them a hanging scroll depicting a running figure hangs above a straw-topped stand with two blue gourd-shaped vessels, flanked by a mallet-and-hoe pair leaning against the wall and a large pale-yellow money-bag-shaped cartouche inscribed "千代寿" beside a red placard reading "農" and "豊年"; the palette is dominated by muted green, grey, indigo blue, and tan, with red accents. Woodblock print by Kawanabe Kyosai.
