View of the Kamo River from Sanbogi at Dawn 1829

"View of the Kamo River from Sanbogi at Dawn" (1829) by Oda Kaisen (1785-1862) is a delicate ink-on-paper painting showcasing the beauty of a Japanese landscape. The work captures the soft light of dawn as it illuminates the Kamo River, with distant mountains and a few trees in the foreground creating a sense of depth and tranquility. This piece, currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the subtle beauty and atmospheric qualities of Japanese landscape painting, known as "Sansui" or "shan shui" in Chinese.
