A horizontally oriented woodblock carved into dark brown wood depicts lightly outlined figures washing clothes along a coastline. In the foreground, people kneel or crouch near the water to scrub fabric. On the right, a figure bends over a basket beside a spiky plant. In the middle ground, two women stand carrying bundles on their heads. Rolling mountains and a hilltop village fill the background. Fine, parallel lines create texture across the surface.
