Description
Yukadi Falls at Nikko are among the smaller waterfalls in the wider Nikko area, the cascade falling through a forested volcanic valley outside the main shrine complex. This 1941 print likely shows the falls in an unnamed season — the white water descending through dark rock with the surrounding forest in summer green or autumn color. Nikko's waterfalls, of which Kegon is the most famous, gave Hasui a series of increasingly minor subjects as he worked outward from the main shrine precinct.
