Untitled (Mountains) 

This "Untitled (Mountains)" by Ike no Taiga, a renowned Japanese painter of the mid-18th century, showcases the artist's mastery of the *sumi-e* style, employing ink washes to create a delicate and atmospheric depiction of a mountain landscape. The piece evokes a sense of serenity and solitude, with the towering peaks and verdant foliage rendered with minimal detail but powerful presence. Taiga's ability to capture the essence of nature using just a few brushstrokes is evident in this work, which exemplifies the aesthetics of *bunjinga* painting.
