Colorful Japanese woodblock print of a man in traditional clothing standing in a boat. The man has short black hair and wears a long robe with a white base color and a pink and green floral pattern; the robe is overlaid with a black shawl with white floral patterns. The man holds a white parasol in his left hand and rests his right hand on a post. The boat has a flat bottom and a low side; it appears to be made of wood. The man stands on a platform; behind him is a wall with a grid pattern of thin rectangular windows. The background includes a pink floor and a yellow wall and roof. The overall color scheme is subdued, with shades of pink, yellow, white, black, and green. The image depicts a traditional Japanese scene with a focus on the man's elegant clothing and the boat's design.
