Description
Yugashima in Ito on the Izu Peninsula is a hot spring hamlet in the forested mountains of the peninsula's interior, the Kano River flowing through the narrow valley between inn buildings. This 1936 oban likely shows the valley village in an autumn or late-summer condition — the surrounding forested hillsides still green, the river visible between the wooden inn buildings. Ito's combination of coastal resort and inland mountain onsen gave Hasui two very different Izu subjects within a short distance of each other.
