Description
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.
