Woodblock print, titled Hiratsuka, artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The scene depicts a river with three boats in the foreground; two boats are close together and one boat is on the left side. The boats have several people on board, two people standing and one person sitting under a canopy in one boat; two people standing in the second boat; and a single person standing in the third boat. The riverbank has grass and several trees; a row of straw huts or tents are on the left side of the riverbank. In the background, there are hills and a large mountain on the right side. The sky fades from blue at the top to white near the horizon. There are several lines of Japanese text throughout the image, including a vertical red banner on the left side. The print has a beige border around the image.
