Hope this will be an interesting one, or at least something which is different.
Simply, explain the cartoon on the right hand side of the image with respect to the statue (or the building) and the set of letters below it.
Though it's not really difficult, I would give you 15 points to tell me what can the cartoon signify here, and 5 more for explaining the connect.

Commodity-based Derivatives.
The image seems to be a pun on the word 'short', as in shorting a derivative or an asset.
The Dojima Rice Exchange is where commodity-based trade began. FGHJKMNQUVXZ (all months) signified the months in which Crude Oil commodity derivatives are available.
The Connect is Commodity Trading
- The Dojima Rice Exchange was the first commodity trading exchange of the modern world.
-FGHJKMNQUVXZ are Futures symbols for delivery months.
- The cartoon basically refers to "going long" and "going short" which is related to commodity futures. Going long refers to purchasing futures contract while going short refers to selling.
Thus, the first two images represent commodity trading, while the tall and short cartoon refers to long/short aspect of commodity trading.

rice brokers.
The letters F, G, H, J, K, M, N, Q, U, V, X, Z each correspond to a month, starting from January and ending with December. So, F implies January, G implies February ... X implies November and Z implies December. These letters are used in future contracts.

the connect:Futures Market
The statue (or the building) relates to the world's first commodity futures exchange. Established in 1697 in Osaka, Japan, by samurai who wanted to control the rice markets, the Dojima Rice Exchange was originally a market where rice was bartered. The exchange was dissolved in 1939.
For futures contracts specifying physical delivery, the delivery month is the month in which the seller must deliver, and the buyer must accept and pay for, the underlying.This list of letters is the conventional letter codes used in tickers to specify delivery month.
The cartoon signifies the different ways in which one can trade in a futures market i.e. by going long or by going short.
In finance, short selling (also known as shorting or going short) is the practice of selling securities or other financial instruments, with the intention of subsequently repurchasing them ("covering") at a lower price.
In practical terms, going short can be considered the opposite of the conventional practice of "going long", whereby an investor profits from an increase in the price of the asset.
