Mountains of the Heart (Kyōchūzan)

Kameda Bōsai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two-page spread from a book with a landscape drawing. The pages are open to reveal a landscape with mountains and a body of water. The left page shows a large brown rocky outcropping on the left with some greenery. The right page depicts a distant mountain range with hazy mist and several islands in the water. The islands have green trees and brown rocky surfaces. The artist's signature is in the bottom-right corner of the right page in red. There is Japanese writing on both pages. The pages are yellowed with age and have a thin black border around the artwork. The background behind the pages is white.
