Description

Shichirigahama (Seven-League Beach) in Kamakura — a sweeping crescent of sand facing the open Pacific, with views of Enoshima and, on clear days, Mount Fuji — appears in this 1932 color lithograph from Kazuma's "Landscapes Prints" series. The beach's long, relatively isolated stretch of coast made it a popular destination for weekend visitors from Tokyo, and Kazuma renders it with the loose, atmospheric touch of someone who has sat on that sand and felt the sea wind. The combination of wide beach, open ocean, and distant island gives the composition its characteristic spaciousness.
