Shoreview

A single steep-roofed thatched house sits amid green trees along a shoreline, fronted by a band of golden reeds and a dark, horizontally rippled body of water in the foreground. Behind the trees, dark green mountains rise beneath a slate-blue sky, where two angular, kite-shaped clouds in deep red frame a white cloud of the same faceted shape. The composition is built from flat, hard-edged bands of color in indigo, forest green, gold, and vermillion; the print is signed in pencil "Masao Ido" beneath the image.
