Description
A row of dark, silhouetted houses and a stone embankment line a canal at dusk, their forms mirrored in the still water below along with a sliver of crescent moon. The sky shifts from deep blue at top through pale yellow to soft pink near the horizon, one lit window glowing amber among the shadowed buildings. In the foreground a figure poles a small boat carrying a passenger across the canal. Kawase Hasui, "Matsue, Izumo, from the series Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series (Tabi miyage dai sanshū)," 1924, color woodblock print.
