Vertical landscape scene with a bridge full of people walking in two lines up towrads left, with mountains in background.　

The long wooden bridge starts in lower right climbing upward towards the left middle of the print above a river. All the bridge travelers wear long robes of green or no color and wide brim hats, a few carry umbrellas. There’s a village with house tops amongst green pine trees and hills in the center, a temple structure in distance on the right. Salmon-pink, horizontal cloud forms are rendered above the bridge and around the mountain. Colors of the print include deep green, salmon-pink, yellow, and black. Calligraphy of various sizes is written at the top center and right.
