The piece is divided into two distinct sections: a detailed, hand-drawn map on the left, and a title/guide panel on the right. The map shows a dense urban layout with labeled areas and waterways. The right panel uses bold, stylized kanji characters and a solid red background, giving it a formal, official feel.
The map utilizes fine black ink lines and cross-hatching for topographical detail. The overall aesthetic suggests early 20th-century commercial printing, likely using lithography or similar printing techniques for mass distribution. The red title panel adds a contrasting, formal element.
