Description
Two figures sit at the edge of a steaming bathhouse pool inside a wooden building, seen through a dark interior frame of posts and slatted railings. Beyond the open lattice screens and glass-paned windows, a pale dawn sky and silhouetted trees glow in soft pink and orange against blue-grey. The palette is dominated by muted greys and browns indoors against the warm gradient of the sky, giving the scene a quiet, early-morning stillness. "Nozawa Hot Spring in the Morning, Shinshu," a woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu.
