- Primarily black and grey ink painting. Signature stamp in the lower right side of the image. Background contains mountains and a river runs from them down to the base of the image.

- Subject Matter
- Ôhara Tonshû painted landscapes closely modeled on the work of the influential literati painter Yosa Buson. The similarities begin with the composition, which features a towering peak with a cottage nestled in the woods at its base, and a stream winding toward the foreground, crossed by a narrow footbridge. It is also seen in the brushwork, especially the treatment of the charming, simply drawn, solitary figure in his hut and the naturalistic foliage of the pines.
