Seishu Awabi-tori no Zu
The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print titled "Seishu Awabi-tori no Zu" by Hokusai. Two red boats are on choppy blue water. The boat on the left has three people wearing dark clothing. The boat on the right has two people; one is shirtless and wearing a checkered cloth around their waist, and the other person wears a white robe. Two people are in the water to the left of the boats. The background features green trees on either side of the boats and distant mountains on the horizon. The sky above is beige and blue. A vertical red banner with Japanese writing is on the right side.
