Woodblock print with a river and mountain landscape. A blue river runs diagonally across the bottom half of the image, with a sandy bank on the left side and a flat area with tall grass on the right side. On the left bank of the river, several people are standing, and on the right bank, several groups of people are gathered. People in a boat on the river are hauling a net filled with fish. In the background, there are mountains with a pinkish hue on the right side and blue on the left side. The sky above the mountains is yellow. There are several Japanese characters in black and a red seal in the top left corner.
