This work is an example of a woodblock print by Japanese printmaker Kawase Hasui. He is known for his depictions of Japanese landscapes with delicate colors and unique light. In this work, the Japanese coastline and small islands spread out quietly, and a sailboat sails along the calm surface of the water.It adds depth to the composition. The gradation of the sky at dusk is beautifully rendered, and the reflection of the ship on the water emphasizes the tranquil atmosphere.
