The image depicts an open book with two pages showing an illustration. The illustration shows a landscape with a tree, a horse and a person. The tree is on the center and left of the image; it has a curved trunk and drooping branches with green leaves. The horse stands in shallow water to the right of the tree. The horse faces right and slightly bows its head to a person crouched down. The person wears a robe and appears to be washing something. The background of the illustration features rolling hills and a body of water. In the distance on the right, there is an object that resembles a boat. The sky above is light-colored with a dark half-circle object that could represent the moon or sun. The pages of the book are yellowed with age and have a thin black border around the illustration. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right page. The overall scene suggests a serene and peaceful setting.
