Description

Tall pine trunks with sparse green canopies rise across the foreground, framing a view of a river or lakeshore beyond; a small dark boat with a single seated figure floats on the pale blue-grey water. White blossoming branches cluster at lower right against the trunks, and the sky is rendered in a warm orange-gold band along the horizon. Woodblock print titled "Arashiyama In Spring" by Kawase Hasui.
