A horizontally oriented color woodblock print depicts figures with light skin tones in a serene garden. Centrally, a woman in a yellow kimono stands near a child reaching upward. To the right, another woman in a purple kimono sits beside a rectangular goldfish tank, holding a small bowl. The background contains a stone lantern, green foliage, and a footbridge. Muted tones and Japanese calligraphy on the left complete the tranquil landscape composition.
