Description

Tall pines with sparse, feathery crowns rise above a row of thatched and tiled farmhouses set against pale blue-green mountains. The sky shifts from blue-gray at the top to a band of soft pink and orange along the horizon, suggesting dusk, with a single lit window glowing among the buildings. A flat grassy field occupies the foreground, and the composition is signed with a red seal at lower right. Color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1942, titled *Tokaido, Shimada*, from the series "Selection of Views of the Tokaido."
