A serene winter scene on a body of water. A small house with a sloping roof and a deck sits on a snowy island on the right. A boat with a curved bow floats near a larger island on the left. The larger island has a tall, thin tree and snow-covered ground with green foliage. The background features a blue and beige sky, with trees on the horizon and a field to the right. A vertical, beige rectangle with Japanese writing is in the top-right corner. A circular emblem with Japanese characters is on the rectangle. Waterfowl swim in the water.
