Description
Tomonoura's harbor — protected by the islands of the Seto Inland Sea and famous for its currents that brought sailors to anchor here for favorable winds since ancient times — is captured in this 1930 print in its working maritime aspect. Fishing boats and cargo vessels crowd the harbor alongside the town's historic waterfront, the layered hills of the Inland Sea framing a scene that has changed relatively little since the Edo period. Yoshida brings his characteristic luminous seascape technique to this historic maritime haven.
