!["The composition is classic for Chikuto with a central foreground grouping of trees, a low middle ground area, and a steeply rising series of hills. The large trees have curving trunks outlined by sinuous dry brushwork that is a Chikuto trademark. The varied brushwork in the foliage suggests a wide variety of plants. The soft pastel tints are characteristic of Chikuto's, reserved palette."<br />

![<em>"Lonely Fisherman at Autumn River</em> is oriented horizontally to provide the breadth of the river and emphasizes the softness of the mountains’ width as opposed to an imposing verticality...The main visual cue of the season in the piece is the seasonal poem of autumn, followed to the left by Itsuun’s signature and seal in red in the upper right-hand corner. A more subtle suggestion of autumn are the birds in a migratory formation just above the surface of the lake... The only separation between the sky and the river in the painting is the tall tree just to the right of the center of the painting that provides a focal point, but even then, the void of the water’s surface leaks into the edge of the mountain, and even lies within the outlines of the village..."<br />

TOP IMAGE. A river appears in lower right corner, traveling from "front" to "back" of image. Along its banks two distant windmills occur, indicating Holland as the location. A distant boat with sails, and a closer group of three row boats on river. The closer group has thee figures bent over their work, which looks like hauling nets. In the center is a nearly barren twisted tree, at whose base is a rough hut of blanks and branches. A path from the bottom right bends up and around the hut and tree, on which a small group of three are poised (two sitting figures appear to listen to a standing third) and a single man travels further into the distance.
