Description

The seaside cottage at Himi in Etchu Province is a humble wooden structure at the water's edge — a fisherman's storage shed or shore station — set against the calm Toyama Bay. This September 1921 print from the Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series was sketched the same day as the nearby Koshoji Temple subject, giving it the immediacy of on-site observation. The simple cottage against the wide bay reduced composition to its essentials: low building, flat water, distant shore.
