Description
The print shows the seated Great Buddha (Daibutsu) rendered in muted blue-grey tones, filling most of the composition against a pale, softly clouded sky. A dark green pine tree with layered, rounded foliage rises beside the statue on the right, and a small figure in a white hooded robe stands at the statue's base, dwarfed by its scale. Titled "Hase Daibutsu- Kamakura" (長谷大佛), this woodblock print is by Kawase Hasui; the year is not recorded.
