Description
Two figures in dark clothing stand on a stone bridge with a low balustrade, viewed from behind as they look out over a dense pond of lotus plants. Broad green lotus leaves and scattered pink blossoms fill the water below, set against a dark, overcast sky. The palette is dominated by deep greens and blackish-blues, with the pink lotus flowers as the only bright accents. Woodblock print titled "Shiba Benten Pond" by Kawase Hasui.
