A hanging scroll in ink and color on silk depicts a serene landscape vertically arranged. A snow-capped mountain towers over misty, green ridges in the pale background. Below, a calm body of water separates the peaks from a shoreline dotted with pink blossoms and buildings. In the lower foreground, two tiny figures traverse a path near pine trees and a white flowering tree. Japanese calligraphy and a red seal accent the lower-left corner.
