The image shows a woodblock print with a tree in the foreground. The tree has a thick brown trunk and green leaves on top half and white blossoms on lower half. The tree is on a grassy hill. There is a body of water behind the tree, with several small islands and green hills in the background. The sky is blue at the top and fades to pink and white towards the horizon. There are several vertical banners with Japanese writing on them. The print has a beige border around the edge.
