Description
A long wooden trestle bridge extends across a lake under slanting lines of heavy rain, rendered entirely in black, grey, and white tones with no other color. In the foreground, a solitary boatman poled or paddled in a small flat-bottomed boat, wearing a straw rain cape and hat, moves through choppy, dark water; wind-bent pine trees cluster on the shore at left, and a low mountain silhouette rises faintly in the misty distance beyond the bridge. Woodblock print, ink and color on paper, by Ito Shinsui, 1918, from the series Eight Views of Lake Biwa (Ōmi Hakkei), depicting the Chinese Bridge at Seta.
