A field of yellow grass or crops with black dots is in the middle ground. Seven people carry items on their backs or in baskets as they travel on a path. The path crosses a small bridge over a body of water on the left. A small hut with a brown roof is on the right. The people wear traditional Japanese clothing. A red seal is on the left. A white banner with Japanese writing is on the right. The sky is dark blue at the top with a few clouds.
