Description
A mist-filled mountain valley recedes through layered ridgelines of dark conifers fading to pale gray-blue in the distance, with terraced green fields (possibly tea rows) climbing the slope on the right. In the foreground, white-blossoming trees rise above a bank of flowers in yellow, pink, magenta, and green, with one small stand of red-orange foliage at the left edge. No human figures appear; the mood is quiet and atmospheric, built from soft fog tones set against the crisp foreground color. "Spring Wind — 春風," woodblock print by Miyamoto Shufu.
