The red gate shown in the left side of the screen is the main gate of Shiba Zojo-ji temple, and at the back of that seen is the temple gate and the roof of the main building. In this composition, mendicant monks and a group of country pilgrims are walking toward the front of the screen, where Old Tokaido Avenue is located, so it suggests there used to be a big flow of people.
