Waterfall 

Kanō Motonobu's "Waterfall" is a masterful example of the artist's skill in depicting the natural world. This ink-on-paper scroll showcases a powerful waterfall cascading down a rocky cliffside, its force and beauty captured with precise brushstrokes. The surrounding landscape is rendered with delicate detail, with a lone pine tree reaching towards the sky, creating a sense of balance and tranquility in the midst of the dramatic scene. This work is characteristic of the *Suibokuga* style, a Japanese ink painting tradition influenced by Chinese art, and demonstrates Motonobu's contribution to the development of the *Kano* school, a prominent artistic lineage in Japanese history.
