Description
A five-story pagoda rises above dense blue-green trees on the far shore of a still pond, its reflection visible in the grey-blue water below. Trailing willow branches with yellow-green leaves hang from both sides of the composition, framing small figures walking along a path near a low building with a curved roof at the water's edge. The palette is muted — soft blues, greens, and grey tones with touches of pink blossom — signed "Yoshida" in the lower right, from Hiroshi Yoshida's 1933 color woodblock print "Sarusawa Pond."
