Description
A samurai rides a light tan horse at a trot, his blue robe sash flying loose as he grips the reins, a sprig of cherry blossom tucked in his topknot; a bow and arrows are visible on his back. The setting is a bare, minimal landscape with pale green ground and a snow-capped mountain under a soft gray-white sky. Title cartouche and a red seal appear in the upper right and left corners. Woodblock print by Ogata Gekko, titled "Riding for cherry hunt."
