The image depicts a landscape with a river, buildings, and trees. The river runs horizontally across the bottom half of the image with a line of trees along the far bank. The near bank has buildings with reddish-brown roofs and a walkway along the water. A structure resembling a gate stands on the bottom right corner. The image features several birds flying over and on the water. The sky is light-colored. The image includes Japanese writing in black and red ink. The image appears to be printed on aged paper with visible wear and tear. The artwork is by Katsushika Hokusai.
