The Sound of Autumn

What you see

The scroll opens on the left with a long text in columns. Next to it, rocky slopes and nearly bare trees lead toward the center, where a path drops between the boulders. On the right, a house with a round window reveals a man seated inside; outside in the courtyard stands a boy. A dark hill closes the scene.

Almost everything is grey ink on pale paper, with dry, broken strokes that give the trees an autumnal air. A pale circle in the sky at upper left appears to be the moon. Notice the small white shapes among the trees near the house, perhaps birds, and the large red seal on the right edge.
