A tall woodblock print depicts a woman with light skin tone and hair pinned up wearing a peach kimono, holding a fishing rod and a small fish. Below her, a man in a checkered robe leans over the edge of a boat toward his reflection in the water. Behind them stands a thick wooden pillar. Vertical calligraphy is featured on the left, and a circular black seal is on the right.
