Hine Taizan 日根對山

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an ink painting on aged paper. The painting depicts a landscape with mountains and a body of water. The painting is in shades of gray, with some darker and some lighter. There are two trees on the left side, one with a thick trunk and a large canopy and the other with a thin trunk and smaller canopy. In the background, there are several mountains with the largest on the right. The sky is light-colored. In the bottom-left corner, there are two red seals. The paper is off-white and has a rough texture. The edges are worn and torn in places. The painting appears to be in a traditional Asian style.
