Description
Four slender pine trees with dark, wind-swept foliage silhouette against a graduated dusk sky of pink clouds, pale blue, and a band of yellow-gold near the horizon. Two figures walk along a path in the foreground toward the right, one carrying a large woven basket on their back, both dressed in blue-toned work clothes with a pale headscarf and hat; low grasses and shrubs line the path, with hills and water faintly visible beyond. "Dusk at Nakaso (Nakaso no yu)," a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1954.
