Description
A rocky coastal headland juts into the sea, its reddish-brown boulders rising against a bright blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. Teal and deep blue waves churn and break against the rocks in the foreground, with white foam cresting along the shoreline. No figures are present; the composition is dominated by the contrast between the warm-toned rock formation and the cool blues of sea and sky. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, from the series "Collection of scenic views of Japan, eastern Japan edition: Hachinohe-Same."
