Vertical rectangular woodblock print depicts a harbor scene. The scene is set at dusk or night with a large full moon in the top right corner. A flock of birds flies in a diagonal line toward the top right. In the foreground, three large ships with tall masts are moored in the water. The ships have reddish-brown hulls and light-colored sails; the center ship's bow faces the viewer. A smaller boat is on the left side in the background. The shoreline has trees and low buildings. The water is greenish-blue with darker blue at the bottom. The background has a greenish-gray sky that lightens to yellowish near the horizon. There are Japanese characters in black ink on the top left; one vertical line of text and two seals in red ink are below it.
