Description
A muted grey-and-white landscape shows a horse-drawn cart with a rounded canopy pausing on a rocky path in falling rain, rendered as fine diagonal lines across the sky; the horse is draped in a covering, and an open umbrella rests propped nearby beside a smaller closed umbrella lying on the ground. Low hills dotted with a few thatched-roof structures and trees stretch across the middle distance beneath a darkened, overcast sky, with scattered grasses and boulders lining the foreground path. Hashiguchi Goyo, "Yaba Valley (Yabake)," 1918, ink and color on paper.
