A horizontally oriented woodblock of dark wood features deep, angular gouges. On our left, two houses with pitched roofs rise among vertical and diagonal lines. A taller building with a pointed roof occupies the center. To the right, a figure with a circular head stands beside a boat-like shape. Rapid diagonal slashes fill the foreground, while remnants of black ink settle in the recesses of the carved surface.
