Crane and Surf by Utagawa Hiroshige: A large bird with a white body, black neck and tail feathers, and a red face is standing on a wave. The wave is dark blue at the bottom and lightens to white at the top. It has a few thin plants protruding from it. The wave takes up the bottom half of the image. The bird faces right. The background above the wave is beige with a thin red stripe across the top. There is Japanese writing on the right side.
