Musashi, Koshigaya Zai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a mountain in the background. The mountain is triangular and snow-capped, positioned centrally. In the foreground are two trees with pink blossoms and bare branches. The trees stand on a grassy area with yellow flowers. A body of water separates the trees from a field with people and what appear to be umbrellas. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to light blue and then white. There are two vertical orange rectangles with black Japanese text. The image is framed by a beige border. The title of the image is "Musashi, Koshigaya Zai" and it is by an artist whose name is not specified here.
