In the background, a mountain range stretches across the horizon, with one mountain prominently featured, being symmetrical and snow-capped. A boat sails on the water to the left. The tree in the foreground has a thick trunk and sparse foliage. There are houses on the peninsula. The image features muted colors, primarily shades of brown. A vertical column of Japanese characters is on the left. The artwork has a beige border.
