Two bird headed creatures with trees growing instead of feathers or hair, crawl over the top of each other. One seems to be turning into a plant. One is tickling, or trying to tickle a creature on the left, while two almost human beings stand on it's back.Two tanuki (Japanese Raccoon Dogs) stand on two legs to dance togetherCreatures clamber together. Maybe to run away, to confront to help each other.A humanoid character (named Saru Kuma from the Kabuki Style of makeup he is generally alluded to having, meaning "brave man of yore") meets a selection of yokai, some real, some not, all disguised. 
As the piece is large the framer chose a perspex front instead of glass so it wasn't too heavy.
