This evocative woodblock print invites the viewer to wander along a serene coastal scene where a solitary figure walks a cow beside the gently lapping waves. The deep, luminous blues of the sea and sky seamlessly blend into the soft sandy beach that curves along the foreground. Towering in the background, a lush green hillside rises, crowned with silhouetted trees against a pale sky punctuated by warm-hued clouds. The subtle gradations of color, from cerulean to emerald and soft ochres, reveal the delicate craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Japanese ukiyo-e art.

The composition is masterfully balanced: the strong horizontal lines of the shoreline contrast beautifully with the organic shapes of the winding water pool in the foreground. The figure and cow add a humble narrative element, evoking a quiet rural life connected to nature’s rhythms. The generous use of negative space and the tranquility of the palette create a contemplative atmosphere. Historically, this work is part of a travel series capturing the scenic beauty of Japan’s coastlines and countryside, offering modern viewers a window into a peaceful moment frozen in time.
