Ono Waterfall on the Kiso Road (from the series a Tour of Waterfalls in the Provinces) is a 1834 by Katsushika Hokusai, a Romanticism work, depicting Waterfall, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a tall waterfall crashing down a rocky cliff. A thin wooden bridge crosses in front of it. People walk across, tiny against the huge water. Hokusai made this during the Edo period. He loved painting nature’s power. The print shows mist rising from the falls, softening the scene. See how he plays with depth. The bridge leads your eye straight to the waterfall. For more like this, look up Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760–1849).
Katsushika Hokusai spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he drew and carved prints for a living.
