Description: Annotations/Markings: Inscribed at upper right corner with a Chinese-style poem by Kaioku himself reading "Yuki wo haikei ni tsuranaru mine ya iwa ga kiritsu shiteiru/ Kaze ga mino wo hirugaeshi, atsui kawagoromo made torinukeru/ Uma no ke wa kootte harinezumi no yō ni katakunari, fukubu wa mizu no yō ni tsumetai/ Ume no hana wo tazunetai mono da ga, sono omoi mo kanaeraresou ni nai/ Tenpo kyū-nen tsuchinoe inu, hatsu fuyu Awajishima nite genjin no e wo mōshi, awasete daisu." (After the snow, the rock and the ridge rise to the sky. The wind flutters my raincoat and even passes through the heavy leather wear. The horse's mane is like hedgehogs' needles and the heart is like the water. We want to go to seek out the plum blossoms, but we may not be allowed to do so. / In the first month of the winter in 1838 I copied a painting of the Yuan dynasty on a journey to Awaji Island and titled it accordingly.) A signature "Kaikyaku" follows the inscription. One seal "Kunmo" at upper right corner preceding the inscription; one "Kaikaku" in upper right quadrant following the signature; one "Kaikaku" at lower right corner of painting.
