There are several people on a path that winds through a field of tall, green grass. The people are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. Some of them are carrying baskets or wearing hats. There are trees on the left side of the image. A tree with sparse leaves stands on the left. Several kites are flying in the sky. The sky fades from orange at the top to beige. A vertical rectangle of Japanese text is in the upper-left corner.
