Description
Large brown fishing nets hang draped between wooden poles on a beach, their deep rust-brown folds dominating the foreground against a turquoise sea and pale blue sky. A small dark island or headland sits on the horizon at left, with white surf breaking along the shore; a tiny white figure or object rests on the sand beneath the nets at right. The palette is limited to warm browns and sandy tans against cool blues, giving the composition a flat, graphic simplicity typical of the woodblock medium. *Fishing Boats on Beach (No. 2)*, woodblock print by Maeda Masao.
