A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts four people inside a roofed pleasure boat. From left to right, a figure in a pink floral robe plays a drum, two people in black and green robes face a seated woman in salmon robes holding a small cup. Above them, decorative curtains hang from the boat's roof. In the distance, a tree-filled shoreline sits under a tan sky while waves ripple along the boat's edge.
