The withered vines are wrapped around the old trees, and the branches are inhabited by crows returning to their nests at dusk. Under the small bridge, there are several families by the running water.
On the ancient and desolate road, the autumn wind is bleak, and a tired thin horse is carrying a wanderer. The sun is setting slowly, and the extremely sad traveler is still wandering at the end of the world.
