This is a mountain&nbsp;valley, &quot;with&nbsp;its&nbsp;foreground&nbsp;landspit&nbsp;and&nbsp;trees silhouetted&nbsp;against&nbsp;an&nbsp;expanse&nbsp;of&nbsp;water&nbsp;with&nbsp;tall mountains&nbsp;soaring&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;background.&quot;<br />
&quot;The&nbsp;poem&nbsp;that&nbsp;Kaiseki&nbsp;inscribed&nbsp;on&nbsp;this&nbsp;landscape&nbsp;effectively&nbsp;captures&nbsp;the&nbsp;mood&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;painting.
<p>Whose&nbsp;house&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;hillside&nbsp;woods&nbsp;by&nbsp;the&nbsp;full&nbsp;stream?<br />
High&nbsp;trees&nbsp;spreading&nbsp;out&nbsp;among&nbsp;the&nbsp;rocks.&nbsp;<br />
Fallen&nbsp;leaves completely&nbsp;carried&nbsp;away&nbsp;by&nbsp;the&nbsp;river&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;rain<br />
Leaving&nbsp;only&nbsp;the&nbsp;color&nbsp;of&nbsp;autumn&nbsp;to&nbsp;fill&nbsp;the&nbsp;sky&nbsp;and&nbsp;hills.&quot;<br />
