Evening at Itako
A wonderful rural view of the setting sun imparting a soft glow over the scene at Itako. In a typical Hasui departure from the famous places, we see a quiet corner with laundry out to dry and two figures walking along the river’s edge. A beautiful design with the fine printing found in the Kawaguchi Hasui prints.
