Lakeside　 8F (45.5 x 37.9cm) 　by Sakujiro Okubo

The work has a tranquil atmosphere and depicts the surface of a lake and cherry blossom trees blooming on its shores. There are mountains in the background, some of which still have snow on them.

The natural scenery of mountains and lakes gives the feeling of a calm spring day, and will bring peace and calm to the viewer.

This is a work in which a moment in nature captured by the artist quietly speaks to the heart of the viewer.
