Description
A white waterfall cascades diagonally down a steep, rocky gorge, splitting into narrower rivulets over ledges of grey stone. Gnarled trees with pale branches lean out from the upper left, while small clusters of red-orange foliage dot the cliffside and lower right, set against a muted palette of greys, browns, and beige. No figures appear; the print bears a red seal and character signature in the lower left corner. Waterfall, by Yamamoto Shunkyo, 1900, color woodblock print.
