The image depicts a Japanese-style woodblock print. A group of people are gathered on the edge of a pond with a large willow tree hanging over the left side. The people are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing and are looking out at the pond. A pagoda-style building with multiple tiers stands in the background, behind several trees. The pond contains several large koi fish and a tortoise. A large rock formation is on the right side of the pond. The print has a beige border with some Japanese writing on the left side. The title "Carp and Tortoises" is written at the bottom, alongside the artist's signature.
