Mist at Miyajima

Leaf 312 – Looking Back

 

Kawase Hasui - Night at Miyajima (1928)


Around this time of year, in 2024, I visited Miyajima for the first time. It was a very rainy day, but the rain was gentle. There wasn’t any wind as such, only the faintest of breezes carrying the light whiteness of the fog, hanging low over the water – making it a marvellously serene experience.

 

 

Following the mist

along the shore – 

Miyajima.
