!["The slender format of this painting was quite popular with the literati in Japan. Here a scholar crossing a bridge while leaving his mountain home turns his head for a last look at the mountain torrent that falls from a cliff in the distance. This waterfall is in turn fed by a large pool midway up on the left. There are houses on stilts that descend into the water shown here as blank paper. Near the top of the mountain peak, the roof of a temple protrudes from surrounding trees." There are two seals, one near the mountain temple and the other in the left corner.<br />

![<p>"The present screens present similar but separate landscape compositions. In the first panel on the right side, a path emerges and passes an empty roadside pavilion. Farther along, three men are strolling, two of them with hoes, as they return from work in the fields. Just ahead is a house where several people converse. Beyond is a valley with several homes and rice paddies. The scene ends with the path crossing over a small bridge by more rice paddies. These drained fields indicate that the season is early autumn after the rice has been harvested and the earth prepared for winter.<br />](/media/W1siZiIsIjIwMjIvMDUvMjUvMWxraWlmMmF0bl9kZWZhdWx0LmpwZyJdLFsicCIsInRodW1iIiwiMjQweDIwMCJdXQ?sha=beb3df5e30e5862a "<p>"The present screens present similar but separate landscape compositions.

"Goshun has powerfully evoked a winter landscape by reserving large areas of blank silk along with scattered touches of white to suggest snow. The heavy overcast sky and the cloudy washes amidst the bare limbs of the trees suggest a gloomy atmosphere appropriate to the theme. The mounted figures and attendants are proceeding along the road towards a mountain pass. Their casual demeanor belies the ordeal through which they have passed."<br />

At the top loom various mountains slanting off to the right. In the manner of Buson (1716-1783) or one of his followers, a figure seated in the window of a house calmly stares out at the viewer.
