「旅みやげ第二集」「丹後の宮津」

Published in Hasui's Tabi miyage dai nishū (Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series), this print depicts Miyazu, a small port town on Wakasa Bay in Tango Province (present-day northern Kyoto Prefecture). Miyazu sits at the base of Amanohashidate, one of Japan's Three Views, and Hasui likely recorded the harbor, hillsides, or bay shoreline with his characteristic attention to water reflections and atmospheric distance. The Tabi miyage series, published by Watanabe Shozaburo beginning in 1921, documented Hasui's sketching journeys across Japan. Tango subjects were less frequently treated than Kyoto proper, giving this impression documentary value as a record of a provincial coastal town during the early Showa period.
