Description
*Sunset Glow* by Shiro Kasamatsu (woodblock print) shows a mountain silhouetted against a glowing yellow-orange sky, with the dark, bare branches of trees and shrubs framing the foreground. Below, a row of low buildings with lit windows sits along a stone embankment beside a river or waterway rendered in mauve-grey and gold tones. Japanese text and the artist's seal appear along the left margin, with his signature in the lower right; no human figures are present, and the overall mood is quiet and dusky.
