Description
A large open-sided shed with a thick thatched roof stands on a sandy beach, its wooden frame stacked with coiled rope or netting, while a figure in a blue kimono carrying a round yellow parasol walks before it. Beyond the shore, a teal sea dotted with two small sailboats and a rocky island stretches under a slate-gray sky streaked with diagonal rain and one large white cloud bank. Kawase Hasui, *Beach Shed at Himi in Etchū Province*, 1921, woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
