In the background amongst the waves, a small scale of the snow capped Mount Fuji stands. The sky is yellow with puffy blotchy white clouds. The wave details are defined in shades of dark blues witht he sea foam in white and light blue. The boats are tan and light brown. Civilians within the boats are wearing blue tunics and have lighter colored skin. The artist's signature is visible in the upper left-hand corner.
