Kegon waterfall, Nikko

A single cascade of white water plunges down a narrow rock cleft between tan, streaked cliff faces, breaking into finer rivulets over the surrounding stone before pooling in pale blue at the base. Deep red autumn foliage frames the gorge along the right edge, with scattered orange-red leaves clinging to the cliffside on the left; two small dark-robed figures stand together on gray boulders at the bottom, dwarfed by the falls, one appears to gesture toward the water. Muted earth tones and blue-white spray dominate the palette in this mokuhanga print of the Kegon waterfall at Nikko by Shiro Kasamatsu.
