A boat with a curved bow and stern is on choppy blue water; two people wearing red clothing are on board. The boat has a yellow rope across the middle and there are two vertical banners on the right, one yellow and one red; both have Japanese writing on them. There is a patch of land with trees in the background on the top left. A red rectangle with Japanese writing on it is on the bottom left. The surrounding border is tan.
