A tall ink painting. Across the top run a band of horizontal brush strokes and two round crests above a looped, tasselled knot. Far below, three small seated figures sit on a low curved line, and four standing figures gather near the foot of the sheet. The rest of the paper is left bare.

The dohyo-matsuri is the ring-purification ceremony held on the day before the first day of a Grand Sumo tournament.
