Description
A weeping willow with a supporting prop leans over a pond in the foreground, its slender branches and leaves silhouetted in dark blue-green against a hazy, monochrome-blue evening scene. Beyond the water stand a torii gate and lantern-lit structures among trees, with softly glowing rectangular lights reflected on the pond's surface; two small figures are visible near the torii gate. The composition is rendered almost entirely in graduated shades of blue, evoking dusk mist over the pond. Shiro Kasamatsu, "Hazy Evening On The Shore of Shinobazu Pond," 1932, woodblock print.
