Description
A monochrome woodblock print, rendered entirely in gray and black ink, showing a horse pulling a two-wheeled cart along a rutted road through a rocky, boulder-strewn valley — identified in the title as Yabake Valley, Oita Prefecture. A figure holding an open umbrella walks beside the horse while fine diagonal lines fill the sky to indicate falling rain; in the distance a river, rolling hills, scattered trees, and a few thatched-roof houses recede toward misty mountains. The artist's seal and signature appear in the lower left corner; the work is attributed to Hashiguchi Goyō.
