Description
A tall waterfall cascades down a rocky gorge flanked by dark green pines, its base churning into white spray and a blue pool where a pale, bald figure kneels in prayer. Above the falls, two small figures stand on a pink-tinted cloud against the mist—one in green with dark, mask-like features and raised arm, the other in a red robe—looking down toward the kneeling figure. The palette is soft and muted (blues, greens, pink-grey mist, tan rockwork), giving the scene a quiet, reverent mood; woodblock print, "Miyako Utsuri," Hiromitsu Nakazawa, date unknown.
