Woodblock print of a mountainous landscape. A dirt path runs from bottom center to top right. Three people walk on the path. One person on the left carries a large umbrella and another person on the right carries a large pack on their back. A woman in the center wears a blue outfit and a conical hat, and carries an umbrella. Trees grow on the right side of the path and on the distant mountains. Two distant mountains are visible on the left. The sky transitions from deep blue at the top to cream at the horizon. Japanese text and a red seal are at the top.
