A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts a river landscape in muted tones. Centered is a rectangular slip featuring calligraphy against a red-to-green gradient. Bare trees and a boat with a blue roof occupy the midground. Clumps of reeds line the banks, and rhythmic, horizontal ink strokes represent ripples in the pale blue water. A creased upper corner and binding threads on the right edge mark the object's construction as a book.
