Morning at Okayama Castle (Okayamajo no asa)

Three bare, dark-branched trees rise in silhouette across the foreground, their limbs spreading against a pale sky that shifts from soft peach near the horizon to blue-green above. Beyond them, a multi-tiered castle with white walls and dark tiled roofs is visible through the haze on the far side of a moat or river, its reflection faintly breaking on the rippled water. Low green shrubs line the near bank, and the muted, misty palette gives the scene a quiet, early-morning stillness — consistent with the print's title, Kawase Hasui's 1955 color woodblock "Morning at Okayama Castle (Okayamajo no asa)."
