A wide-angle, long shot captures a desolate landscape of the banks of the river of hell, with a dark, obsidian-like river flowing from the foreground deep into the distance. On the left bank, the ground is covered in gray gravel littered with countless small, hand-stacked stone cairns. In the far distance, a semi-circular traditional wooden bridge spans the river, where a tiny figure of a woman with long black hair wearing a Heian-period junihitoe kimono stands. High in the dark navy sky, tinged with a faint, pale orange glow and streaked with gray clouds, a colossal centipede-like insect flies in the far distance. Near the river's edge in the mid-ground, a man stands with his hands thrust into his pockets, peering into the water. He has black hair tied in a high bun with a single strand hanging on the left, monolid narrow eyes with sanpaku characteristics, and a purple stone earring; he wears a black gakuran jacket, oversized bontan trousers, and black jika-tabi boots, with a faint smile on his closed lips. The scene is rendered in a watercolor medium on paper texture, featuring loose linework, translucent washes, gentle color bleeding, and layered stains in a dark, muted, painterly palette.
