Description
A small rocky island crowned with dark pine trees and a pagoda-roofed structure sits in calm water beneath a pale pink-to-mauve dusk sky. In the foreground, two small boats with figures aboard drift near the island's shore, their forms rendered as dark silhouettes against the muted lavender-grey water. "Tomonoura," a color woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida, 1927.
