Description
A wide, low-horizon landscape of a dry, russet-colored moor or hillside dotted with sparse dark shrubs, leading back to a range of rounded blue-grey mountains under a pale, hazy sky. No figures are present; the composition is divided into long horizontal bands of rust-brown foreground, blue mountains, and off-white sky, giving a still, open, autumnal mood. Woodblock print, "Arayu Road, Shiobara" by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
