This exquisite hand-painted artwork originates from Japan, dating to the early Showa period (1926–1940), and represents a sophisticated design sheet for a traditional sliding door or fusuma. Measuring approximately 11 inches by 13 inches (28 cm x 33 cm), the piece is meticulously rendered on a silk canvas front with a protective paper backing. The artwork is in very good condition, showcasing a masterful use of atmospheric ink washes and gold leaf accents to create a sense of profound coastal tranquility.

The visual narrative depicts a serene mountain inlet with a small fishing village nestled at the foot of towering, mist-shrouded peaks. In the foreground, gnarled pine trees anchor the rocky shoreline, where several traditional thatched-roof houses are visible. On the water, small fishing boats glide near the shore, while the mid-ground is elevated by a radiant field of gold leaf speckling (sunago) that suggests the sun's reflection on a hazy morning. The presence of an artist’s signature and a red seal on the right confirms its status as a professional studio original.
