Both parts of the screen depict the image of mountains and islands among the water and fog.

On the right side of the screen is Mount Jinshan located on the Yangtze River, near the city of Zhenjiang in southern Jiangsu province.

Included in that painting are numerous bridges, roads and paths where people from all walks of life intersect.

Buddhist monasteries and places of worship were built in the area of the West Lake (some of them can be found on the mural of the screen), which attracted many pilgrims.

Among Japanese works of art before Sanraku, the most famous was a vertical scroll attributed to Sassu.
