Note du spécialiste

The massive Torii depicted here is the gate to Towatari Shrine in Noboto, nowadays Chiba. A fine day in the peaceful fishing village and rice port by the Bay of Edo, the scene depicted here reflects the daily life of fishing men and women in a beautiful, almost theatrical setting through the artist’s eyes. The impressive Torii and the distant Mt. Fuji makes a striking contrast.
