The image depicts a serene harbor scene with a predominantly blue color palette. The artwork, titled "Miya", is by an unknown artist. The scene features a cluster of boats with thatched roofs moored in the harbor. The boats are predominantly brown with white thatched roofs. There are several buildings, including a white building with a blue roof in the foreground and a pagoda-style structure on a small island to the left. Trees are scattered throughout the scene, both on land and on small islands. The background features a clear blue sky transitioning to a deeper blue towards the bottom. Several Japanese characters are written vertically on red banners and in black ink on the left and right sides of the image. The artwork has a beige border around the edges.
