Description

Mano Bay on the western coast of Sado Island faces the Sea of Japan, its broad semicircular bay framed by low coastal hills. This 1921 oban from the Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series likely shows the bay in a reflective summer or autumn condition — the calm inshore water picking up a pale sky, fishing boats visible on the surface. Mano was once the administrative center of Sado, and its bay gave Hasui a wide horizontal composition suited to the quiet, contained world of the island's western coast.
