The image size is 25" wide x 51" high. With a dark bronze silk makio and kakio at the top and carved wood black jikusaki at the bottom. The outer scroll covering is raw silk. Circa early 20th century, no later than mid century.

In the left foreground a forest hermitage sits on a bouldered riverbank amid a grove of pines, trees, shrubs and grasses. On the sloping riverbank at right foreground is a boat landing and a foot bridge. As the river winds back into midground it passes a forested village on the left. The winding river continues past a stepped waterfall on the left formed by massive rocky tors that soar into the heavens and march into the distance in traditional Chinese aerial perspective.
