Description
A weeping willow with fresh green foliage arches over a stone lantern beside a wide blue river, its trunk rising from a low stone embankment. On the near bank three white ducks walk along a dirt path, with a thatched-roof house and pink-blossoming trees at right and distant blue-green mountains and small houses along the far shore under a pale sky. Kawase Hasui, "Yanagi Ferry, Yoshino River (Yoshino Yanagi no watashi)," 1950, color woodblock print.
