The image shows a traditional Japanese woodblock print of a landscape scene. The scene features a bridge spanning across a body of water; the bridge has five arches with stone supports. The bridge is brown with a yellow-brown railing, and a person is walking across it on the right side carrying an umbrella. There are trees on either side of the bridge and along the shoreline, with more trees and buildings on the right side in the foreground. The background features a mountain peak and a blue sky with falling rain depicted as diagonal lines. The color palette consists of earthy tones and blues. Japanese characters appear in the top-right corner and at the bottom left.
