Woodblock print depicting a Japanese landscape. A dirt road runs along the left side and curves right. A donkey with a yellow and brown pack stands on the road facing right. A person wearing blue and a straw hat walks on the road towards the donkey. Two other people, one on a horse and another walking behind them, are on the road further back. A stack of brown barrels sits to the right of the donkey. A grassy area with blue-green grass borders the road on the right. Several large trees are on the grassy area, one with branches hanging over the road. In the background, a body of water and a blue sky are visible. Two orange lanterns and Japanese writing are in the top-right corner. A vertical line of Japanese characters is on the bottom-left side. The print has a beige border with darker edges.
