Description
A dusk view along a riverbank, with a silhouetted tree arching over a path on the left and dark reeds lining the near shore; a yellow-thatched roofed boat sits moored at right while a smaller boat with two seated figures rests near a jetty in the middle distance. Across the water, low dark hills or rooftops are backed by pale gray plumes rising into a sky that shifts from golden-orange near the horizon to blue above. Woodblock print, "True Pictures of Famous Places in Tokyo: Koume," by Inoue Yasuji.
