Description
A cluster of white, dark-roofed houses lines a stone embankment at the edge of a still lake, with a dense green tree rising beside them and low mountains fading across the water under a warm ochre sky. A single small boat sits far out on the pale green water, and Japanese characters and the artist's pencil signature "K. Oda 192-" appear at the lower right. Muted greens, ochre, and cream dominate the palette, giving the scene a quiet, hazy stillness; this print, *Lake Shinji-kagonohana* by Oda Kazuma, is a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print).
