About this work

Here’s your rewritten description, 98 words, three tight paragraphs: This print shows a quiet lake scene in Tokyo. Benten, a water goddess, sits on a rock in the mist. Cherry blossoms float on the water. A small boat glides by. Gekkō made this during Japan’s Meiji era. He mixed old styles with new printing tricks. The soft colors make the scene feel dreamy. Look for prints by Gekkō in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
