Dusk at Nakaso, 1954

Striking view of farmers walking along the road at Nakaso in Ibaraki prefecture. The sky is flooded with brilliant color as the sun sets, the clouds tinged with pink, mauve, and lavender against a deepening blue sky, creating a bold contrast against the trees in shadow in the foreground. A wonderful design with rich color.
