Colorful woodblock print with a mountain in the background. The mountain is large, triangular, and symmetrical, with a pointed top. The mountain is dark brown with lighter shading indicating snow at the top. In the foreground, there is a village with thatched roof buildings. People are standing outside the buildings wearing traditional clothing and hats. Trees and greenery are scattered throughout the village. The village is situated near a body of water, possibly a lake or bay. The water is calm and reflects the colors of the sky. The sky is a gradient of yellow, pink, and orange hues, indicating sunrise or sunset. There is a small island or peninsula in the water, with trees and vegetation. A vertical rectangle with Japanese text is in the top-right corner.
