The image depicts a scene with two men in a boat on water. The man in the boat wears a kimono with a circular design and has short hair. He looks up at another man standing on the water beside the boat. The standing man holds a closed umbrella in one hand and a round object in the other. He wears a kimono with a similar floral pattern and a wide-brimmed hat. The background features a building with a tiled roof to the left and trees to the right. Birds are flying in the sky. The color palette is primarily beige, blue, and black. Japanese characters are at the bottom.
