Colorful woodblock print with beige background. The image depicts a landscape scene with a mountain in the background and a field in the foreground. In the background, a large mountain is on the left and a smaller one on the right. The mountain on the left has a triangular shape with a pointed top. The sky above has a gradient from dark at the top to light at the horizon, with birds and kites flying. The field has tall green grass and several people are present. The people wear blue clothing and straw hats. They are running or walking along a narrow path that winds through the field. There are two tree trunks, one with sparse leaves, on the left. There is Japanese writing in a vertical rectangle on the top left and a red seal on the bottom right.
