DescriptionThe image is a print featuring three male figures and a horse on the bank of a river. The horse is carrying a load of small yellow packages on its back. One of the figures sits on a stack of yellow packages to the right of the horse and the other two figures stand to the left of the horse. The land on the other side of the river is covered in grass and a white and gray mountain can be seen in the distance. In the top right corner of the work there is a long, red rectangle with Japanese characters written on it. More Japanese characters are found just to the left of the rectangle, and the artist's signature is found on the left side of the print near the bottom. On View
