Woodblock print of a large brown ship with white sails on the water. The ship's hull has a face on the front, resembling a mouth. There are people on board. A large blue wave rises on the right side. The wave curls over on itself. The water around the ship's bow is choppy. The background features a dark blue-gray sky with some clouds. Silhouettes of people are visible on the right. Red vertical rectangles with Japanese characters are in the top-right and bottom-right corners, and a similar red design with a white circle and lines is on the bottom-left. A red vertical design is on the left side. The image appears to be split into two panels.
