A horizontally oriented color woodblock pentaptych depicts a bustling riverside. People with light skin tones in patterned robes stroll beneath straw awnings in the foreground. Above, a long wooden bridge spans the river from right to left, crowded with pedestrians. Numerous boats navigate the water's black ripples. Muted earth tones, warm reds, and grays color the scene, with intricate black lines detailing the panoramic view.
