In the distance, there are mountains that contain a little greenery. The waterfall comes out of these mountains and empties into a river; mist formes from this. In the top left corner of the painting, there is a signature.

&quot;The mountain occupies most of the landscape, but the entire mountain appears somewhat one-dimensional and it becomes hard to recognize any sense of recession within the landscape.&nbsp; The effect of learning from woodblock paintings and manuals can also be seen in Taiga&rsquo;s bold, dark outlines that are supposed to represent to the ruggedness of the mountain.&nbsp; Finally, because Taiga did not provide a detailed rendering of the waterfall, and instead portrayed it with minimalistic brushwork, the waterfall seems to have lost a sense of motion.&quot; The background of the painting is gold.<br /> <br /> Kaplan, Emily. &ldquo;A Mountain Landscape with a Waterfall.&rdquo;&nbsp;<i>Japanese Landscapes</i>, 18 Dec. 2009, japaneselandscape.wordpress.com/literati/literati-prints/a-mountain-landscape-with-a-waterfall/.<br /> <br /> Landscapes and flower studies<br /> There are many different kinds of flowers drawn within fan shapes and rectangles.
