Description
A fleet of dark-sailed junks clusters on calm water beneath low hills, their masts and hulls doubled in soft reflections on the pink-and-blue surface. The sky graduates from pale blue at the top through peach and rose toward the horizon, indicating early morning light, while a small skiff floats near the foreground boats. Hiroshi Yoshida rendered this woodblock print, "Morning of Abuto," in ink and color on paper in 1930.
