Description
A wooden footbridge with a railing spans a calm river lined with grassy banks, framed by a dense cluster of tall dark green trees on the left and low mountains in the distance. Two white birds float on the water beneath the bridge, and the sky above shows soft bands of gray-blue clouds tinged with pale yellow near the horizon, suggesting dawn or dusk. The palette is dominated by muted greens and blues in a quiet, still composition with no human figures visible; woodblock print, "Asano River, Kanazawa, from the series Souvenirs of Travel, First Series," Kawase Hasui.
