Description
Baishinji Beach in Iyo, published in 1950, depicts the shoreline at Baishinji — a beach on the Uwa Sea coast of Ehime Prefecture (Iyo Province) on Shikoku — where the warm Pacific waters of the Bungo Channel meet the sandy shore fronting the ancient Enshoji temple complex. The Iyo coast offers a different quality of light from the Inland Sea or Pacific subjects that dominate Hasui's coastal catalog: warmer, more sheltered, with the small islands and curved shorelines of the Uwa Sea visible in the middle distance. The 1950 date places this among his postwar Shikoku documentation.
