Description
Arayu Hot Spring at Shiobara appears here at morning, the inn buildings and outdoor baths of the most rustic Shiobara spa cluster visible in early light with steam rising from the volcanic water. This 1946 print pairs with the evening view of the same spa, giving the Arayu subject both its nocturnal and dawn character. The Toyado no asa title (morning on the Toyo Road) specifies the approaching-dawn condition before the inn's guests are yet awake.
