Description

A long wooden bridge on stone-and-timber piers spans a river under a hazy grey-blue sky, with wooded hills and clustered rooftops visible faintly along the far bank. The composition is rendered in muted greys, blues, and blacks, with a band of white-capped ripples across the foreground water and soft mist blurring the tree line behind the bridge. The scene is still and quiet, with no figures present; a red artist's seal appears at lower left and Japanese characters and a pencil edition number appear beneath the image. Titled "Bridge of the Fading Sun" by Miyamoto Shufu, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print), year unknown.
