Description
A fleet of masted junks with dark, gathered sails clusters on a calm bay, their hulls and rigging reflected in soft blue-green ripples across the water's surface. Layered gray mountain ridges recede along the horizon under a pale yellow morning sky, with a faint moon still visible near the top of the composition. The palette is muted and cool, dominated by dove grays, soft blues, and warm ivory tones, giving the harbor scene a quiet, hazy stillness. "Abuto in the Morning," from the series "Abuto," by Hiroshi Yoshida, 1930, color woodblock print.
