The image depicts a landscape with a boat in the foreground and a mountain in the background. The boat is centered at the bottom, with its bow pointing to the right. It has a curved hull and two tall poles on either side. The boat is situated in choppy blue water with white waves. In the background, there are green trees and bushes along the shoreline. A large mountain with a pointed summit covered in snow rises behind the trees. The sky above the mountain fades from dark blue at the top to light yellow towards the horizon. On the left side of the image, there is a vertical rectangle containing Japanese text. The overall color palette includes shades of blue, green, yellow, and white.
