Description
A tranquil blue-toned nocturne showing a still waterway or canal at dusk, its surface reflecting the darkened sky, with several small moored boats lined along the near bank. A low stone embankment curves along the left edge of the water, with dark rooflines and a cluster of buildings silhouetted along the far shore under a deep indigo sky. No human figures are visible; the print is dominated by cool blues and near-black silhouettes, evoking a quiet, still evening atmosphere. Woodblock print, "Twilight in Hamarikyu," by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
