Description
A wide river estuary in muted blue-grey tones, its rippled surface catching pale light, with numerous small sailboats and a few motorized craft scattered across the water. A silhouetted city skyline with a pagoda-like tower and rooftops lines the horizon under a soft, hazy sky; in the right foreground, a wooden dock or pier holds several small standing figures beside a mast and a red buoy floats at the left. *Sumida River – Afternoon* (1926), a woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida.
