Description
A weathered wooden torii gate stands at the shore's edge, flanked by two stone lanterns, with waves breaking against rocks just beyond it and a small grounded boat at lower right. Two seated figures in red-toned clothing rest on the sandy foreground near the gate's base, while across the blue-green water a hilly, tree-covered coastline with a few distant boats stretches beneath a pale sky streaked with clouds. The palette is dominated by blues and teals in the sea and sky, set against tan sand and muted greens along the far shore. Kawase Hasui, 1925, color woodblock print (oban), "Pacific Ocean, Awa Province (Boshu Taikai)," from the series *Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series (Tabi miyage dai sanshu)*.
