Hasui’s own notes describe the scene perfectly: “A narrow river flows into the sea. Golden clouds reflect the morning sun and a small painted mountain is visible in the background. A boy herds a reddish-brown calf along Iwai Beach during the morning lull of the sea breeze. I attempted to convey the bracing atmosphere of a summer’s morning along this coast.” Scarce, pre-earthquake design in excellent condition.
