Woodblock print depicting a serene scene. A man wearing a blue top and hat rows a small wooden boat with a large pile of brown material on it through a river or canal. The boat is in the foreground, angled to the right. The man holds a long oar. The water is blue-green with darker blue shadows. There are several willow trees with long, thin branches and greenish-brown trunks on the left bank. The background shows a blue sky with pink and orange hues near the horizon, and a large pale sun or moon. There are also several red and black Japanese characters and seals scattered throughout the image. A grassy bank with a few trees and hills is in the distance.
