Colorful woodblock print depicting a river scene. The scene shows two large boats and several smaller boats on a blue body of water. Many people are swimming in the water, pulling on ropes attached to the boats. The boats have flat bottoms and are rectangular in shape. The larger boats have small cabins with slanted roofs. The people in the water wear simple garments. In the background, a mountain range stretches across the image, with one prominent snow-capped mountain on the left. The sky is a gradient of beige, pink, and orange. The entire image is surrounded by a beige border with a darker shadow around the edges. Japanese characters are written in black ink at the top and right side of the image. A red vertical banner with Japanese writing is on the right side. The scene also includes a group of people and a horse-drawn carriage on the distant shore.
