Description

A wide river winds through a valley at dusk, its pale sandbars and shallows catching the last pink-orange glow of the sky, while dark silhouetted mountains and tree-covered hills recede in layered blue-grey tones toward the horizon. No figures are present; the scene is rendered in a muted palette of indigo, slate, and green with a soft band of warm color along the horizon line. Kawase Hasui, 1942, color woodblock print, titled Night at Minano, Chichibu (Chichibu Minano no yu).
