Morning at Mihogaseki in Izumo Province (Izumo Mihogaseki no asa), from the series "Selection of Views of Japan (Nihon fukei senshu)"

From the Selection of Views of Japan series — a curated group of Hasui's most praised regional subjects. Series membership adds collector appeal beyond that of standalone compositions. Pre-war lifetime editions with the Watanabe copyright seal (A–D types) represent the most desirable impressions; atmospheric subjects (snow, rain, night) within this series command the highest prices. Pre-war lifetime editions bearing the Watanabe copyright seal (A through G types, 1926–1944) are the most desirable.
Mihogaseki at dawn in Izumo Province presents the rocky cape at the moment when the San'in coast's characteristic misty mornings begin to lift, the sea still gray but the horizon brightening. This 1925 oban from the Selection of Views of Japan shows the cape headland in morning light — the dark pine-covered bluffs above the water, fishing boats perhaps setting out into the early sea. The asa (morning) companion to the earlier evening version of Mihogaseki shows Hasui's practice of depicting the same site under different atmospheric conditions.
