The Waterfall Where Yoshitsune Washed His Horse at Yoshino in Yamato Province (Washū Yoshino Yoshitsune uma arai no taki), from the series A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces (Shokoku taki meguri)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man is washing a brown horse's leg in a shallow area of a river. The man is standing in the water. He is wearing a headband. The horse faces right. A man wearing a conical hat sits on the horse. A tall, multi-tiered waterfall cascades down a rocky slope behind them, surrounded by greenery. Large brown and grey rocks are in the foreground. The background shows a hazy sky above a distant mountain range. There is dense foliage on the waterfall and along the riverbank. A small vertical rectangle with Japanese writing is on the left.
