The image depicts a traditional Japanese painting of a large wave crashing onto a shore. The wave is depicted in a dynamic and dramatic manner, with white foam and dark blue water. In the foreground, there is a small boat or ship, which appears to be sailing through the waves. The background features a mountain range, adding depth and scale to the scene.
