Woodblock print depicting a serene landscape. A large body of water dominates the scene, with several small islands scattered across it. In the foreground, a tree stands prominently on a hill, surrounded by smaller trees and bushes. A few sailboats are visible on the water. In the background, a mountain range stretches across the horizon. The sky above transitions from blue at the top to white towards the horizon. Japanese characters and a red seal are visible on the left side. Three circular seals are located at the bottom right. The entire scene is framed by a white border.
