Description
A stone torii gate and two stone lanterns stand at the top of a set of steps overlooking a broad expanse of blue-green sea, with pale hills receding along the far shore. A small child in a red top stands at the base of the torii, and a boat sail is visible near the steps in the foreground. The print renders the water in rippling striations of blue and white beneath a pale sky, with the framing torii and lanterns silhouetted in grey stone against the coastal view — captioned as Pacific Ocean, Boshu, from Kawase Hasui's "Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series."
