Brief Description
Monochrome landscape on a multi-panel screen with mountains, water, villages, and temples
Detailed Description
A wide, horizontal monochrome ink wash landscape on a multi-panel screen is rendered in shades of dark grey and black ink on a light brown background. The composition spans from left to right. On the far left, a wide expanse of water extends towards a distant, low mountain range. A small flock of birds flies in the upper left sky. Closer to the foreground, a village with several two-story houses is situated along the water's edge, with a few small boats, some with figures, visible on the water. In the central portion, a tall, rugged mountain rises prominently, its peaks and slopes are densely covered with trees. More houses and smaller structures are nestled at the base of this mountain and along the water. The right side of the screen is dominated by a large, sloping mountain range that recedes into the background. Several multi-tiered, temple-like buildings with distinctive roofs are visible on the lower and middle slopes, surrounded by trees. Small, indistinct figures can be seen on the highest, most distant peaks of these mountains.
