This print shows a winding river cutting through flat land. People walk along the banks, some with poles, others carrying bundles. In the distance, big hills rise up, painted in dark blues and greens. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to show depth. The river looks calm, but the people add a sense of movement. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more prints like this.
