Description
The Yoro waterfall in Mino Province appears in this print from the Shokoku Takimeguri (Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces) series from around 1827 — Hokusai's celebrated set depicting Japan's most dramatic cascades. The Yoro-no-taki plunges 32 meters through a narrow gorge in the mountains north of Ogaki, its sacred character reinforced by the ancient legend of the filial woodcutter who discovered sake flowing from the cliff face, miraculously healing his father.
