Description

A river with rocky, foam-flecked rapids runs across the foreground below a low stone embankment, with thatched-roof buildings clustered along the far bank beneath flowering (pink-blossomed) trees. Green, tree-covered mountains rise steeply behind the village, with a taller double-peaked mountain in the distance under a pale sky. The palette is dominated by blues and greens with touches of pink and brown roof tones; no human figures are visible. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, titled Anraku Hot Springs, Ôsumi (Ôsumi Anraku onsen), from the series Selected Views of Japan (Nihon fûkei senshû); year unknown.
