Description
A two-masted sailboat with a small figure aboard glides across calm water in the foreground, its dark silhouette and rippled reflection set against a dim blue-lavender dusk. Behind it, a row of illuminated boats or lanterns stretches across the harbor, their warm yellow-white lights reflected in vertical streaks on the water, with soft mountain silhouettes rising under a hazy pink-grey sky. Woodblock print, ink and color on paper; Hiroshi Yoshida, "Kōnoshima," 1930.
