Description
A large red-and-orange striped beach tent fills the right foreground, beside a red parasol and hand at lower left, while numerous bathers in dark blue and red swimsuits and caps stand and sit across the sandy shore, some wading toward the water. Beyond them a calm bay stretches to a low green-blue headland under a pale blue sky with white clouds, rendered in flat bands of color typical of the woodblock medium. A red seal is stamped near the base of the striped tent; the print is by Onchi Koshiro, titled "Yuigahama beach," in mokuhanga, year unknown.
