Buddhist Priest, Tokyo, Cadwallader Lincoln Washburn, etching with drypoint
In this circular, black and white print, a single figure carries a filled sack over a makeshift wooden bridge toward a two story watermill building with a water wheel on the side. The river powering the wheel runs along the bottom right of the print, while fields undulate twoard a distant group of buildings beyond the figure carrying the sack. At the bottom of the print is a small still life with implements related to grain milling--two ears of corn, a winnowing basket, a large sack, a basket, and a scoop.
