From the museum
Here, a person in a pink robe strides across a bridge where a river meets the runoff from a waterfall. An attendant walks behind with what may be a guqin, a type of stringed instrument, wrapped for traveling. Up the hill, a figure in blue sits in a pavilion, awaiting their arrival. Willow trees grow on the surrounding slopes. In addition to painting, Okada Hankō held a government post and ran a rice business in Osaka.
