This print shows a busy riverside scene with small boats, people, and animals. In the foreground, a man leads a horse past huts with thatched roofs. The river is dotted with ships, some carrying goods, while others sail toward distant hills. Trees line the shore, and the background has faint mountains under a light sky. The text at the top is in Japanese, likely describing the scene or its title. The artist used simple colors and bold lines to create movement and depth.
