Japanese sailing boats cruise North across a turquoise sea between steep islands. Only a few classic pine trees and an occasional hut tucked into the side of the gray rocks suggest a sparse place.
The islands are portrayed as inaccessible, so the viewer wonders how these could have been built. Many of the sailboats are unmanned, and only a few have a solo sailor.
