Izuitoshougetuin

A thatched-roof bell pavilion with a suspended temple bell sits on a stone platform at right of center, framed by two tall pine trees with dark green needles reaching across the upper right of the composition. Beyond, a calm blue bay stretches toward low green-and-tan hills on the far shore, with tiny boats dotting the water and a pale blue sky filled with soft white clouds above. The palette is dominated by muted greens, blues, and browns, giving the scene a quiet, still daytime atmosphere. Kawase Hasui, "Izuitoshougetuin," 1933, woodblock print.
