Description
A row of tall, dark-trunked trees with dense green-black foliage stands on a grassy shore, their exposed roots gripping the ground in the foreground. Beyond them, pale blue-grey mountains rise against a hazy lavender-grey sky, with a strip of water faintly visible between the trees at left. The palette is muted and cool throughout, giving the scene a quiet, twilight-like stillness; no human figures are present. Woodblock print, "Beach at the Kaiganji in Sanuki Province," by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
