Horizontal bands and two round crests above a looped, tasselled knot fill the top of the sheet. At the foot, two standing figures in long robes flank a seated or crouching figure in the ring, beneath arcs of dots. A row of short vertical marks runs along the bottom edge.

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