Ōmi is an area around Lake Biwa near Kyoto. The Shinto shrine Hiyoshi Taisha and the Buddhist temple Ishiyamadera are in the upper right and upper left of the composition, respectively.

Harvested rice fields to the right and flowering cherry blossom trees at left show seasonal change from winter to spring.
