The image depicts a traditional Japanese painting, known as a ukiyo-e, featuring a large wave crashing into a mountainous shore. The wave is depicted in white against a dark, almost black background, creating a striking contrast. The mountain, which is located at the bottom of the painting, is also white and appears to be a small island or a small mountain range. The sky above the wave is also white, with some clouds visible. The overall scene has a serene and dramatic atmosphere, typical of ukiyo-e art.
