Notes: This striking print, titled 夕映え (Evening Glow) by Masao Ido, captures the serene beauty of twilight over a tranquil lake, possibly 琵琶湖 (Lake Biwa), Japan's largest freshwater lake and a source of inspiration for countless artists and poets throughout history. The composition showcases a fiery palette of red, orange, and gold, reflecting the vivid hues of the setting sun. A lone boatman glides across the shimmering water, silhouetted against the glowing sky, while distant islands and mountain ridges form a quiet backdrop. Historically revered as a gateway to Kyoto, Lake Biwa has long been celebrated in Japanese art for its timeless beauty and its role in reflecting the passage of time and seasons.
