Description
A pale blue-green marsh fills the lower half of the composition, its still surface reflecting the shoreline, framed at right by a tall pine tree with layered yellow-green needles growing from a rocky outcrop, and by dark silhouetted pine boughs in the foreground corners. Beyond the water rises a low line of hills patterned in green foliage and bare tan-pink earth, under a sky of white cumulus clouds against blue. No figures are present. Kawase Hasui, "Karasu Marsh, Akita (Akita Karasunuma)," from the series "Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series (Tabi miyage dai sanshu)," 1927, color woodblock print, oban.
