Evening Glow at Koganei Border

A woodblock print shows cherry trees in full bloom lining a curving embankment above a wooden bridge. Travelers walk along the path beside thatched houses, and a distant Mount Fuji rises under a pale orange evening sky, with a column of calligraphy at upper right.

Look closer: A small horse with a rider on the left bank near the thatched houses.
