Part of the series, Collection of Scenic Views of Japan II, this print shows one of Japan’s most iconic views—the ravines along the Kitayama-gawa River. The erosion of the slates and sandstones created gigantic and oddly shaped rocks, which are now renowned as natural monuments.
Hasui's depiction of a small sailboat navigating along the ravine show the magnificence of nature in comparison with man-made contrivances.
