This painting shows a simple bamboo fence with chrysanthemums. The artist used subtle colors to create a peaceful scene. The Meiji period, when this was painted, was a time of change in Japan, but this painting feels calm and quiet. The painting's calm feeling might come from the artist's focus on nature. Check out the work of Kono Bairei, a Japanese artist from the same time period as this painting.
