A person in a red garment stands at the bow, holding the pole. Several people wearing blue garments and head coverings sit inside the boat. A large red fan with a white design floats in the air above the boat. A tree with sparse red blossoms is on the left. A grassy shore and fence are in the background on the left. Japanese characters are written in black and red ink throughout the image.
