Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Paintings Pre 1950: item #702337

Elongated across a pair of two panel screens, a boatman poles home his bamboo raft in the very early evening, his back slightly hunched after a days work. The wooden street lantern has just been lit and is emitting a very soft glow. The wizened branches of huge old pines reach toward the shallow water, almost impossibly laden with small cones.
