Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke (Shimotsuke Kurokamiyama Kirifuri no taki), from the series A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces (Shokoku taki meguri)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A large waterfall dominates the scene, cascading down a rocky slope. The water appears white as it falls, with dark blue lines indicating the flow. The waterfall is surrounded by green foliage and trees. Three people stand at the base of the waterfall. Their clothing appears to be traditional. A fourth person's head is visible. A vertical block of text is on the right side. A signature and seal are in the bottom-right corner. The background includes more trees and foliage, with a mix of green, blue, and brown colors.
