A woodblock print depicting a scene of construction. A man stands on a brick wall on the left. He wears a white headband and a blue and white outfit, and holds onto a pole. Below him on the left another man in a blue outfit stands on brown ground. A body of water separates the men from another construction site on the right. The site on the right has many vertical brown planks standing in the ground. Two men in green and white outfits work with wood on the right. There are houses and a mountain in the background under a blue and white sky. The mountain is in the distance and appears to be a prominent, symmetrical cone.
