The painting depicts a vertical rectangular composition with a dark green background bordered by two beige strips, one at the top and one at the bottom. The artwork features numerous white plum blossoms scattered across the canvas, appearing to grow from dark brown tree branches. The background of the painting appears to be an ink wash in a muted brownish-gray color. There are several lines of Japanese text written vertically on the right side of the painting, accompanied by two red seals. The overall design presents a serene and natural scene, characteristic of traditional Japanese art, specifically capturing the beauty of white plum blossoms and the moon.
