Eight Views from The Tale of Genji

Ishiyama Moroka

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A serene landscape with a man sitting on a platform wearing white robes, surrounded by a river, trees, and mountains with fog covering the lower parts. Two deer are on the riverbank. The man sits on a blue mat. A blue railing borders the platform. A triangular roofed building and a thatched roof building are in the background. Mountain peaks are visible through fog. The background color is a muted brown.
