This is a detail from a 16th century screen in the Tokyo National Museum collection, titled "Genre Scenes of the Twelve Months." It shows a bustling shop that sells kosode (kimono) and fabric as well as the street outside.

More scenes can be found at the museum's website: http://www.tnm.jp/modules/r_collection/index.php?controller=other&colid=A11090&t=type_s&id=11
