In the background, there are trees, a body of water, and a mountain in the distance. The mountain is white and conical in shape. There are houses and buildings along the water's edge. The sky is beige at the top and fades to blue near the horizon. The water is blue with patches of yellow near the shore. The people in the procession are walking on a path next to a thatched roof structure. There are several people in the field near the water. The image includes Japanese characters in a vertical rectangle in the top-right corner.
