The artwork titled “Irozaki, Morning” was created by the artist Toshi Yoshida in 1961. Rendered through the medium of woodcut on paper, this piece is an example of the Sōsaku hanga art movement and falls within the marina genre.
The artwork depicts a tranquil coastal scene at dawn with a rocky shoreline in the foreground, interspersed with sparse trees. The calm sea extends into the distance, dotted with small boats and rocky outcrops. The serene sky transitions from a soft pink near the horizon to a gentle blue-green, complementing the serene marine landscape. The composition captures the peaceful atmosphere just before the full arrival of daylight, characterized by the delicate interplay of light and shadow.
