A fishing rod extends from the boat into the water on the left. Five buildings with triangular yellow roofs stand behind a fence on the shore. A large building with a black roof and white walls is behind and between trees. A blue fan shape with Japanese writing appears in the upper right. A red circular symbol and Japanese writing are above the boat.
