Good condition. No creases, holes nor signs of fixing. There is a light halo along the bottom part of the white frame. It can be noticed, especially observing the clouds and the sky, that unfortunately color has faded a little, probably due to sunlight exposition.
Sunset at Kizu (Kizu no yū, 木津の夕).
A beautiful sunset backing some townhouse in Kizu, Kyōtō prefecture.
Set in Kizugawa city, it is actually the main station of the area, connecting the four cities of Kyōtō, Ōsaka (to Kyōbashi station), Nara and Kameyama through the West Japan Railroad line. It flanks the Kizugawa River
that has been used as a transportation route since the 3rd century, and was the starting point of a sea route connecting Yamato and the Seto Inland Sea (Seto uchi) through the Yodogawa River.
During the Nara period, Kizu prospered as a landing port for timber, mainly used for building up capital cities such as Heijōkyō or Heiankyō.
The name "Kizu" has its origin in it, being composed by the two ideograms of wood "ki" and harbour "zu".
