Birds, blossoming trees, and a waterfall flowing into a turbulent river with rocks
Detailed Description
The image, rendered in shades of brownish-gray, shows a natural landscape. In the upper left, a small dark bird flies against a muted background. The central midground features a prominent, gnarled tree with numerous bare branches adorned with small, light-colored blossoms, possibly plum. A small dark bird perches on one of these branches. To the right of this tree, a rocky cliff face rises, partially obscured by bamboo-like foliage. A narrow waterfall cascades down the cliff, disappearing behind the central tree and into the water below. Another small dark bird is visible perched on a branch near the upper right cliff. The lower half of the image is dominated by a wide, turbulent river, rendered with swirling white-capped waves and distinct ripples. Dark, irregular rock formations emerge from the flowing water in the foreground. On the far right edge, a vertical rectangular cartouche contains dark vertical text that reads: "宝惟慈姫湯瀑布"
