The image shows a Japanese woodblock print featuring a landscape with two white cranes and a tree. The print depicts a tree with sparse leaves on the right side. A white crane stands on one leg in the foreground, to the right of a body of water. A second white crane flies above, its wings spread. In the background, a vast field stretches out with a few trees and two people. The sky transitions from blue at the top to pink near the horizon. Red rectangular inserts with black Japanese characters appear in the top-right and bottom-left corners. A small white rectangle with a red border and black Japanese characters is in the top-right corner. The entire scene has a beige border.
