Japanese-style woodblock print. A woman wearing a black kimono with white flowers and red trim stands in a small boat on the left side. She faces right and holds a long pole extended over the water. The boat floats on rippled water. A man with a long beard sits in the bottom of the boat, appearing to be descending or emerging from the water. His body fades into a lighter orange tone. Water surrounds the boat. A small island with plants is in the background. The sky has wavy lines indicating clouds. Japanese characters are on the right side.
