Description
A quiet morning with a boat sailing out from Hamamachi. Like in a few other prints of Kawase Hasui it is clear that the scene is depicted in modern times, with not just a wagen but also a car standing on the quay beneath telephone poles. Still the scene radiates calmness and quietness, with only a few people around as the sun announces the start of a new day.
