In the distance are mountains and a sunset or sunrise sky with hues of blue, pink, and white. The mountains are greenish-blue. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to white near the horizon. The scene includes Japanese writing in the top-left corner and on a red banner on the right. The image has a beige background.
