A lone oarsman pilots his small wooden boat along the calm Nishiki River, under the curving wooden arches of the Kintai Bridge. In the foreground, a cherry tree in bloom screens our view of the near side of the stony riverbank; beyond, houses backed by tall, healthy-looking green trees line up along the opposite side of the river. Above, a few wispy white clouds linger in a bright blue sky.
