1974.102.9.C: A Cloudy Day in Mizuki, Ibaraki Prefecture (Mizuki no kumoribi [Ibaraki-ken])
PrintsSimple small buildings depicted in variations of greys and browns, the largest one on left, with angled roofs in this perspective scene. Waves crash on the shore in the distance, just past the houses, no people in the scene. The ocean water is an aqua color against the darker blue horizon line and overcast clouds hover above. The foreground contains a stone-lined road from left, curving to the center leading downhill to the right. The screens of an upper balcony on left provide contrast to the muted browns and greys of the outside, its roofline parallel with the horizon.
