Description
A two-masted sailboat with pale, paneled sails dominates the foreground, crossing calm blue water whose surface is patterned with light ripples and reflected sunlight; a smaller white-sailed boat appears at left in the middle distance. To the right, a rocky, tree-topped promontory rises from the water, crowned by a small building with a dark tiled roof. The sky is pale blue with horizontal bands of thin white cloud; this color woodblock print, "Abumi Promontory (Abumisaki)," was made by Kawase Hasui in 1950.
