Description
A clear mountain stream rushes through the Atera gorge in Nagano Prefecture, the water white with turbulence as it passes between moss-covered boulders and overhanging forest. Atera is known for its primeval forest of massive ancient sugi cedars and zelkova, and Kasamatsu's mountain stream composition situates the rushing water within that enveloping green. The interplay of white water and dark rock, of motion and stillness, gives the composition the kinetic energy typical of his finest river scenes.
