Description

A thatched-roof house and bare-branched tree stand in silhouette at left against a sky graduating from deep indigo at top to pale orange near the horizon, with a range of dark hills and a body of water beyond. A single robed figure walks along a curving dirt path toward the water, passing between the house and a tall, dark-leaved tree at right. Kawase Hasui, "Dusk at Asō, Ibaraki Prefecture," 1936, woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
