Description
A moored sailing ship with a tall rigging of masts and lines dominates the harbor at right, its dark silhouette and that of smaller boats reflected in the still blue-grey water; low factory buildings and smokestacks line the distant shore beneath a hazy sky. In the foreground, a dog stands on a wet, puddled embankment beside a hand water pump, patches of damp ground rendered in muted tan and grey. Kawase Hasui, "Akashi-cho after Rain (Akashi-cho no ugo)," from the series *Twenty Views of Tokyo (Tokyo nijukkei)*, 1928, color woodblock print, oban.
