The waterfalls at Mt. Uchikongo in Korea — a mountain known for dramatic cliff faces and cascading water — are rendered in Hiratsuka's direct woodblock style during his 1930s travels on the Korean peninsula. The 1939 print captures the falls' force through his bold carving strokes, the water descending through the mountain's rocky gorge. The work belongs to his Korean landscape series made during Japan's colonial period.
