The image depicts a serene scene titled "Pleasure Boat on the Sumida River" by Teisai Hokuba. The boat is central, with a curved wooden hull and a flat deck covered by a roof supported by thin pillars. Inside the boat, five people are present: one standing at the back, one sitting at the front, and three in the middle. The people are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing known as kimonos. The boat is on a river, with another boat and a tree with white blossoms visible in the background. The riverbank in the distance features buildings and trees. Birds are flying in the sky. The color palette is predominantly muted, with shades of brown, beige, and soft colors for the clothing and scenery. The artwork's border is green with a patterned design.
