A Long Tale for an Autumn Night (Aki no yo nagamonogatari)
The image depicts a traditional Japanese painting with a beige background. The top left section shows a group of green trees on a hill with brown ground. In the center, a winding blue river flows from right to left, with seven people in and near the water. The people wear traditional Japanese clothing in shades of white, red, and black. The two people on the right side are on the ground near the water's edge. The person on the left sits on the ground, wrapped in a grey cloth, with another person wearing a red garment sitting across from them. The people in the water are wearing black head coverings. The background has faint, darker horizontal lines.
