Colorful woodblock print depicts a staircase leading to buildings with yellow roofs. A person walks down the stairs while others lead pack animals up. Green hills flank the stairs, and trees line the right side. The sky transitions from orange to pink near the horizon. Japanese characters are scattered throughout. A red banner with Japanese characters is in the top-right corner. The image has a beige border around it.
