Description
A quiet street scene at night, rendered in deep blue-green tones with pale grey clouds massed against the dark sky. A large tree with dense, dark foliage leans over a stone retaining wall on the left, beside a canal or narrow waterway; utility poles line a path leading toward a cluster of low buildings on the right, where a few small windows glow orange-red. The composition is dominated by silhouette and shadow, with a lone dark figure faintly visible on the road at lower right — Kawase Hasui's 1928 color woodblock print "Kamezaki, Bishu," from the series *Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series*.
