The river runs horizontally across the image, with buildings lining both sides. The buildings on the left side have a stone foundation with a wooden upper level. On the right side, there is a low wall with a railing along the riverbank. Several boats are on the river, including a large boat with a pointed bow in the foreground. A person is standing in the boat. There are more boats along the right side of the river. The background shows more buildings and trees along the riverbank. The sky is cloudy and light-colored. There are some Japanese characters in the top-right corner. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and gray.
