1974.102.9.A: A Cloudy Day in Mizuki, Ibaraki Prefecture (Mizuki no kumoribi [Ibaraki-ken])
PrintsThe view is from a slight hill looking down toward the shore, with minimal houses drawn in acurate detail showing their structure and slightly angled roofs of differing heights in this perspective scene. The ocean has the most completed color of the entire drawing, it’s a luminous blue-green color, the small buildings are colored slightly with light ink wash. Silhouette of a solitary figure stands on shore in distance as a wave is about to crash.
