A woodblock print depicts a mountainous landscape with a group of people traveling on a path. The mountains are gray and covered in trees. A group of people are walking on a stone path that runs from the bottom-left corner of the image up to the center. The people are wearing traditional Japanese clothing and some are carrying poles with red streamers attached. A person sits on the path. There are trees and bushes along the path and on the mountainside. The print has a beige border around it, and there is Japanese writing in black and red ink on the right side and near the top-right corner.
