The drawing features a young pine tree with green needles and reddish-brown new growth on the right side; the tree has exposed roots at its base with several long thin roots extending out and downward. The pine tree grows beside and over a brown plow handle that stretches to the left; the handle lies flat with its curved blade resting on the ground beside the tree. The background of the artwork is beige with darker beige around the edges. The artwork features several rectangular blocks of various sizes containing Japanese text written in black ink; one block of text is in a red seal.
