The image depicts a serene, windy riverside scene in a traditional Japanese setting, showing a bent tree and two figures walking near the water. One figure, donning a blue patterned robe, chases a hat blowing in the wind while the other, dressed in traditional clothing with a conical hat, walks across a dock.
