Japanese art rotation

A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on a six-panel screen depicts a gilded landscape, at the center of which numerous figures with light skin tones gather in a walled courtyard near white blossoming trees. To the left, a temple stands on stilts over a waterfall. To the right, small boats navigate dark water. Billowing gold clouds drift throughout, while green and blue pigments accent the roofs and foliage.
