A Japanese landscape with low-rising hills in shades of yellow and green, and dark blue at the top, fading into white towards the center. Two people stand on a path at the bottom center, facing away from the viewer, and a third person is on a hill to their left, holding a round object. The hills and mountains around them feature thatched roof buildings, bushes, and two tall trees to the right. The mountain in the distance is snow-capped. Japanese text is written vertically on the top left, and red seals are at the bottom left and bottom right.
