Colorful woodblock print depicting a Japanese cityscape. The scene shows an aerial view of a town bordered by a river and sea. The town has numerous buildings, some with gray roofs, and a bridge crossing the river. A large body of water is visible in the background. The color palette is predominantly muted, with shades of green, blue, and red used throughout the composition. There are trees and what appears to be a mountain range on the left side of the image. A large rectangular area with red markings is present on the right side near the water. The overall style is traditional Japanese ukiyo-e.
