This hanging scroll, "Landscape" by the Japanese artist Kushiro Unsen (1759–1811), depicts a serene mountain scene. The artist's use of soft brushstrokes and subtle washes of ink creates a delicate and evocative landscape that invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of nature. The composition, which features a winding river flowing through the mountains, is typical of the *shanshui* style of landscape painting that was popular in China and Japan. The scroll, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of Unsen's mastery of ink painting. *Shanshui*, Ink Painting, Hanging Scroll.
