This is an image of a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The print features an individual swimming in seemingly rough, wavy waters. The person's body is visible, shown mid-stroke with extended arms, amidst the dynamic waves that have been drawn with great detail to capture the movement of the water. The style of the waves is highly stylized and characteristic of Japanese prints of this genre.

Above the scene of the swimmer is what appears to be a scroll or document, depicted in great detail with Japanese characters on it, suggesting that there might be a story or a poem related to the image below. The scroll is adorned with decorative rollers at either end and is held in place, which is a common inclusion in such artworks to provide context or narrative. The hues of the picture are relatively subdued, with the water predominantly in shades of blue and grey, in contrast to the warm tones of the scroll.
