Description
A wide waterfall drops sharply in a rectangular sheet from a rocky ledge, framed by dark, ink-washed cliffs and a gnarled pine with coral-pink needles reaching across the left foreground. Beyond the falls, low grey-blue mountains recede into mist under a muted, tonal palette of sumi grays, warm beige, and soft pink. A square red seal marks the lower left corner; the design as printed does not depict Mt. Fuji or any figures. Mokuhanga woodblock print by Ogata Gekko, titled "Mt. Fuji reflected in a waterfall," year unknown.
