About this work

This painting shows a quiet landscape with a small house by a river. Tall trees with long, drooping branches line the banks. In the distance, a mountain rises, covered in mist. A few pink flowers bloom near the water’s edge. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like ink splashes. The artist left big patches of white space, letting the eye fill in the gaps. This style comes from the Meiji period or Taishō period.
