Description
The harbor at Tomonotsu on the Inland Sea — the same picturesque port on the Onomichi Strait that Koitsu also depicted — appears here in Shotei's treatment at the hour of sunset, the calm inner-sea water suffused with warm color as the fishing fleet rests at anchor. The Inland Sea's geography of islands and narrow channels created constantly varying light conditions as the sun dropped through the western sky, and Shotei's treatment captures the particular richness of the Tomonotsu harbor view.
