Description
A dark green boat sits on a teal-toned canal beneath overhanging willow leaves rendered in bright yellow-green, with a stone wall and low stone bridge behind it. Three round, lidded baskets or lantern-like containers in ochre, orange, and pink rest on the boat's deck. The palette is dominated by deep greens, teal, and slate blue-grey stonework, giving the scene a shaded, still mood. *Takasegawa-Summer*, woodblock print, ink and color on paper, by Clifton Karhu, 1990.
