This hanging scroll, created by Yosa Buson in 1775, depicts a serene landscape in soft colors. The painting features a prominent mountain range rendered in washes of light ink and subtle color, which suggests a hazy, atmospheric environment. Buson, known for his mastery of the *haiku* form, translated this poetic sensibility into his art. This scroll, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, embodies the beauty and tranquility of the natural world through his delicate brushwork and muted palette.
