The pine avenue at Tsuda near Matsue — a coastal road lined with ancient pines characteristic of the Shimane coast — is rendered in Hiratsuka's 1949 color woodblock. The avenue of pines, their trunks creating a colonnade along the coastal path, belongs to the landscape of his birthplace region that he documented throughout his career. The color treatment gives the coastal pines a warmth that distinguishes this from his more austere architectural prints.
