The coast at Nobuto in Chiba Prefecture — the northeastern shore of Tokyo Bay, looking back toward the capital — is rendered in Hiratsuka's 1922 woodcut as one of his early coastal landscape subjects. The view across the bay captures the horizontal calm of sheltered water against the distant city and hills. Dating to his early printmaking period, the Nobuto view documents a shoreline that urbanization would transform within decades.
