The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print featuring Mount Fuji in the background, with its snow-capped peak rising majestically. In the foreground, two travelers wearing traditional attire and straw hats walk along a path, carrying luggage. Birds are flying in the sky, and two cranes are wading in a marsh.
