About the piece

Created by Kawabata Gyokushō around 1868, this atmospheric composition exemplifies the Nihonga style's delicate balance of ink and light color. Figures in a small boat provide a sense of scale against the towering rocky formations and distant hills, evoking a feeling of peace and contemplation characteristic of late Edo-period landscape studies.
