Description
A monochrome lakeside view rendered in grey tones on cream paper: tall reeds and a low rocky bank fill the foreground, with a stone lantern set among gnarled pine trees at right. On the water, five sailboats with tall, angular sails cross the lake at varying distances, each with a single standing figure visible in the two nearest boats; a low shoreline is faintly visible on the horizon beneath a pale, hazy sky. Vertical Japanese text and a seal appear in the lower right corner; the print is *Yakase Bridge, from the series Eight Views of Lake Biwa (ōmi hakkei)* by Ito Shinsui, 1917, woodblock print in ink and color on paper.
