This print shows Lake Kizaki in Shinshu. The lake is surrounded by grassland and a mountain range can be seen in the background. The viewer gazes across the lake to where several houses peak out between a grove of trees. A person holding a parasol can be seen walking on the far left of the print. The atmosphere within this image is that of a fresh summer day in the countryside with clouds lazily drifting past the far-away mountains.
