A vertically oriented woodcut depicts a drooping cherry tree with a thick dark trunk. Pale pink and white blossoms hang in dense vertical trails, supported by thin dark poles and a light green lattice. The tree is centered against a textured teal green background showing wood grain and overlapping ink layers. Near the bottom, light pink and white patches suggest fallen petals on a gray ground. Pencil inscriptions line the lower margin.
