The image shows a street scene in a traditional Japanese village. On the left side of the image, there is a wooden sign with Chinese characters written on it. The sign is attached to a wooden pole and appears to be hanging from the side of a building. In the background, there are several other buildings with traditional Japanese architecture. The sky is overcast and there are a few people walking on the street. A man wearing a white cap and a black apron is bending down to pick up something from the sign. He seems to be looking down at the sign with a serious expression on his face.
