Two six-panel folding screens depict ink and color scenes on gilded paper, with scalloped gold clouds dividing green mountains and dark water. On the top screen, people with light skin tones travel on horseback and in boats toward the right. The lower screen features a central courtyard with white cherry blossoms where crowds gather, and buildings overlooking a waterfall. Clusters of houses and travelers appear throughout the landscape across both horizontal screens.
