From the Art Institute of Chicago record
The poet Tsuraki was appointed governor of Iki province, near Kyoto, in 920. He composed this poem while crossing Mount Shiga: In a mountain stream. Built by the busy wind, Is a wattled barrier drawn. Yet ‘tis only maple leaves Powerless to flow away. (Translated by Clay MacCauley) Hokusai presents a lovely, clear day drawing to its close. The woodcutters continue their task and a fisherman casts his net where maple leaves are briefly caught in the rush of the mountain stream. A mother pulls her son along, who leads his pet turtle home over the plank bridge.
