The image depicts a serene Japanese landscape with a body of water, mountains, and a shoreline. A red rectangular box with black Japanese text is centered at the top. Below, a beige sky transitions to dark blue at the top, with a yellow horizon line. A small boat with white sails is on the left, and a mountainous land mass is on the left side. In the foreground, two people walk on a path lined with trees. More trees are scattered throughout the scene, and a grassy area is in front of the path. Japanese text is written vertically on the left and right sides, and a red seal is on the top right. The artwork's edges are rough and beige.
