Description
A long wooden bridge with slender railings spans a calm river beneath a dark cluster of pine trees silhouetted against a dusky sky. Two white birds float on the water near a grassy bank in the foreground, while low hills are faintly visible in the distance. The palette is dominated by deep indigo and green-blue tones, giving the scene a quiet, twilight atmosphere. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, titled Bridge over the Asano (?) River.
