Watching a Waterfall, 1790. During the Edo period, Japanese literati artists such as Tani Buncho loved depicting the theme of Gazing at the Waterfall by painting a blue and green landscape in the format of a hanging scroll. Watching a Waterfall is one of his masterpieces, evoking poetic sensations through his use of colour and dramatic composition. Tani inscribed the painting with two lines of a seven-word poem: "The stone cliff layered with rocks is extremely high. Falling waterfalls in the sky reverberate the cloud."
