A horizontally oriented woodblock print depicts people with medium-light skin tones working in a riverside lumberyard. On the left, a man atop a high stack of wood tosses a plank toward another below. Centrally, a man saws a board. To the right, clusters of tall timbers stand vertically, framing distant Mount Fuji. Calligraphy occupies a vertical block at the top left, overlooking blue-roofed houses and a river flowing under a blue-toned sky.
