A large waterfall cascades down a rocky cliffside, surrounded by trees and greenery. The waterfall is depicted in shades of blue and white, with a small pool at its base where several naked men are bathing and washing. A tiled walkway runs along the left side of the image, with a railing overlooking the pool. A building with a tiled roof and open sides is situated on the right side. The background features a blue sky with clouds, and a field with yellow crops on the left. A vertical rectangle with Japanese writing is on the top left, and a circular emblem with Japanese writing is on the bottom right.
