Description
A row of white-walled buildings with dark reddish-brown tiled roofs lines a stone-edged waterfront, their forms mirrored in the still water below. Low green hills and pale blue-gray mountains recede across the water under a sky streaked with soft clouds, while two small boats with figures float near the shore. Muted blues, greens, and grays dominate the palette, giving the scene a quiet, overcast atmosphere. Color woodblock print (o-tanzaku format), "Honjo in Izumo Province (Izumo Honjo)" by Kawase Hasui, 1932.
