Description
A vertical landscape print showing a river gorge with a wooden footbridge crossing dark blue-grey water, framed by trees in bright orange-red autumn foliage on both banks. Layered mountains in muted blue-green recede into the background under an open, hazy sky, with reeds or grasses along the near shore in the foreground. Text panels with vertical Japanese characters appear at the top of the composition, along with a red seal; the palette is dominated by indigo-blue water and stone against the vivid red-orange maple leaves.
