A colorful woodblock print. A mountain with a pointed top and a smaller mountain behind it on the right. The mountains are green and brown. A body of water surrounds the mountains with four boats on it. The boats have white sails with red designs on them and are sailing to the left. Red flags on long poles are attached to the boats. A man on a horse looks out at the boats. He wears a blue and white outfit with a long red and orange vest. A fence runs along the bottom left. Japanese writing appears on a red shape in the top right corner and on a small rectangle on the left. Small trees are on a patch of green land in the bottom right. The sky is blue and white.
