A woodblock print depicts people with light skin tones gathered along a stone walkway in the lower third, a turquoise pond in the center, and a multi-tiered pagoda rising over dense trees in the upper third. Figures wearing patterned robes sit or stand. To the right, a woman stands near drooping willow branches. Vertical Japanese calligraphy lines the left. Hanging willow leaves frame the top against a pale sky.
