Description

A pale white castle with a tiered, pagoda-like roofline sits atop a distant hill, framed by soft blue-grey mountain ranges receding into the background. In the foreground, gnarled, wind-bent pine trees with dark green foliage flank a wide green meadow, with a faint dirt path winding across it toward the castle. The palette is dominated by muted greens and blues with a hazy, atmospheric quality; the print bears Japanese characters, the artist's seal, and pencil inscriptions of the title "Shirasagi Castle" and signature "Toshi Yoshida" in the lower margins.
