Landscape

Kano Motonobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A semicircular fan-shaped object with a wavy bottom edge depicts a landscape scene. The scene features rolling hills with trees on the right and a group of buildings on the left. A body of water runs through the center with several boats, and people are standing on the shore. Some are on horseback. A larger building and several smaller structures are on the right side. The background shows more hills and mountains, and the fan appears to be made of paper or silk. The image by Kano Motonobu is in black and white.
