Cirrocumulus Clouds (Uroko-gumo)

A single figure in dark clothing and a pale conical hat sits on a grassy hillside, seen from behind, with tall wind-bent grasses filling the foreground to the left. Rows of small scale-like cirrocumulus clouds stretch across the upper sky, which shades from pale yellow at the horizon into deep blue overhead. Shiro Kasamatsu's 1919 color woodblock print "Cirrocumulus Clouds (Uroko-gumo)" renders the scene in muted greens, blues, and gold in the quiet, low-light tones of dusk.
