Description
A reddish-brown torii gate with a green roof rises from shallow water, framed by the dark silhouettes of overhanging pine branches that fill the upper portion of the composition. Thin vertical rain streaks the grey-mauve sky above layered blue-grey mountains, while a small boat carrying two figures drifts near the gate, its form and the torii's reflection rippling across the pale teal water; two stone lanterns and a mossy pine trunk anchor the foreground. This mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) by Tsuchiya Koitsu, titled "Miyajima in autumn," is rendered in muted greys, blues, and greens.
