Woodblock print on paper, rectangular shape with beige border. A body of water fills most of the right side. On the left, a curved stone walkway runs along a raised shoreline, lined with trees. A bridge extends to the right over the water. A sloped hill with trees on the left descends to the walkway. A cluster of buildings is at the top left. In the background, the sky fades from pink on the left to blue on the right. A pink and blue gradient is at the horizon. Boats are scattered on the water. A dark blue line represents another land mass or shoreline. The image includes Japanese writing in black ink.
