Description
A rocky, tree-flanked ravine opens onto a view of layered green hills beneath a rounded mountain peak, its slopes catching warm golden-pink light while shadowed rock faces remain in cool blue-grey tones. The composition frames the distant landscape through dark foreground foliage and boulders on either side, with no figures present. Woodblock print, "Afterglow at Shirahama Beach" by Ito Shinsui.
