A colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene from the sea. In the foreground, several women are shown in and around a small boat on the right side. Three women are on a sandy cliff on the right; one woman on the left side of the cliff is bending down, one woman on the right side of the cliff is standing with her hands on her head, and one woman is sitting. A woman wearing a brown kimono sits in a boat with her back to the viewer. The boat she sits in points diagonally to the left. To her right is a woman in a white kimono climbing into the boat. The woman to her left holds a yellow object. Four other women are shown on the left among waves; one woman holds a sail. A red boat with white sails floats on the water on the left. A large body of water fills the background, with land visible on the horizon. A beige background surrounds the top and a large white background surrounds the rest of the print.
