The image depicts a colorful woodblock print of a rural Japanese village. The scene shows a wide river with several houses on the near side. The houses have sloping roofs and are tan with darker brown trim. Several people stand on the riverbank, and some are on small boats in the water. A dense forest rises on the far side of the village. The forest is filled with slender trees, and some buildings are visible behind the trees. The background features a hazy sky with a gradient from dark gray at the top to light yellow towards the horizon. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and horizontally on the right side of the image.
