Description

A dusky blue-green nocturne of a thatched-roof hot-spring inn, its dark silhouette set against a tall, billowing mass of trees or steam rising behind the roofline into a deep blue sky. Two small windows glow pale yellow-white against the shadowed structure, the only warm light in the scene, while a stream or wet path curves through grassy foreground in front of the buildings. Kawase Hasui, "Tsuta Hot Springs in Mutsu Province (Mutsu Tsuta onsen)," from the series *Souvenirs of Travel, First Series (Tabi miyage dai isshu)*, 1919, color woodblock print (oban).
