A Long Tale for an Autumn Night (Aki no yo nagamonogatari)
The image depicts a serene scene with a river, a horse, and people. A river with a winding path flows from the bottom center to the top left. On the left bank, a man in a white robe rides a brown horse, holding a parasol above his head. A woman in a long white robe stands beside him, and another person in a robe sits on a bench under a building with a tiled roof. The right bank features a steep hill with trees and several small buildings. A boat is moored near the bottom of the river, and another boat is sailing on the water. The background includes a gray sky. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and blue.
