Woodblock print, rectangular shape with a beige background and darker beige border. A full moon is visible in the blue and white sky. A body of water with numerous boats fills the center of the image. The boats are dark gray with tall, thin masts. A group of people are on a stone-paved area on the left, and a few more people are gathered around a building on the right. The building has a conical roof. A grassy area and a stone wall are in the foreground. A horse-drawn carriage with two wheels is on the right side. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side. A small red square seal is below the characters.
