Description

Kude Beach in Wakasa Province, from the Souvenirs of Travel, First Series published in 1920, depicts the shoreline at Kude on the Wakasa Bay coast of present-day Fukui Prefecture — one of the small, sheltered inlets that characterize this deeply indented coastline of the Japan Sea. The Wakasa coast's many coves and headlands, backed by forested mountains dropping directly to the sea, gave the First Series some of its most intimate coastal subjects. The 1920 Kude composition captures the Landscapes quality of this sheltered bay with its clear water and forested headlands.
