A horizontally oriented woodblock print depicts a coastal scene under a pale, cream-colored sky. In the foreground, figures carrying poles walk along a sandy path. To the right, wooden buildings and dark, stylized trees line the shore. To the left, several sailboats with large, tan sails navigate deep blue water against a hazy horizon. Vertical columns of Japanese calligraphy are positioned at the top center and upper left (see "Inscriptions").
