Description
A river bends between pale, rocky banks beneath slender white-barked trees with wind-swept red-orange autumn foliage; dark rocks break the water's surface as it flows through the gorge. The palette contrasts cool blue water and grey stone against the warm red canopy, under a clear light-blue sky, with no figures present. Woodblock print, "Autumn of Okuirise — 奥入瀬," by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
