Description

Spring dusk at Yumoto Onsen in Hakone, 1953, finds the hot spring resort in the particular light of the transition between day and night — lanterns beginning to glow in the inns while the sky above the forested Hakone ridges still retains warmth. Kasamatsu captures a spring evening at this Hakone resort town, where the Hayakawa River flows through a valley of traditional ryokan. The combination of thermal steam, spring foliage, and dusk light creates the atmospheric density typical of his finest onsen prints.
