The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print titled "Mizukuchi" by Utagawa Hiroshige. The scene shows a group of people walking along a road next to a river. There are six people on the road, with one carrying a large bundle on their back and one holding an umbrella. The people are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. A yellow tent-like structure is on the right side of the road. Several trees line the riverbank, with some having sparse leaves and others appearing bare. In the background, there are two green hills, one larger than the other. The sky above is white with a blue gradient at the top. Two vertical banners with Japanese writing are on either side of the image. A small yellow rectangle with Japanese writing is in the top-right corner. The print has a beige border around it.
