Description
A large purple-toned torii gate stands in shallow water, its reflection mirrored below the waterline, with dark pine branches framing the upper left corner of the composition. A stone lantern with two illuminated window openings sits on the shore at lower right, its warm glow contrasting with the deep blue night sky, distant dark mountain silhouette, and a few small white stars overhead. Kawase Hasui, "Starlit Night at Miyajima (Hoshizukiyo [Miyajima])," from the series Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series (Tabi miyage dai sanshu), 1928, color woodblock print, oban.
