The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The scene shows people in traditional Japanese clothing, called kimonos, on and around a boat. The boat is mostly black with white and blue designs on the back, and a light-colored wooden deck with black and white striped fabric on top. The people are standing on a wooden dock or platform. Several women are on the left side of the image, wearing colorful kimonos with designs, and some have their hair styled in traditional Japanese up-dos. On the right side, people are boarding or exiting the boat, with one woman wearing a green kimono and carrying a large decorative hairpiece. The boat has a roofed section with green and black fabric draped over it. The background shows a body of water and trees in the distance. The color palette includes shades of red, orange, green, black, and white.
