Comment |
From left to right the famous views are: Autumn moon at Ishiyama, sunset sky at Awazu, evening bell at Miidera, night rain at Karasaki, wild geese alighting at Katata, lingering snow on Mt. Hira, returning boats at Yabase, and evening glow at Seta
All the scenes seem to be populated entirely by women. |
