Colorful Japanese woodblock print depicting a serene waterfall scene. A tall, narrow waterfall cascades down a cliffside covered in trees and greenery. At the base of the cliff, a small blue body of water reflects the surrounding landscape. In the foreground, several thatched roof buildings are nestled among trees and greenery. A bridge or fence is visible on the cliffside above. The sky transitions from red at the top to yellow and green towards the left. Japanese text is written vertically on the right side and horizontally at the bottom left.
