Misty Dawn at the Seashore, Edo period (1615–1868), 19th century, Japan, Hanging scroll; ink and color on paper, Image: 68 1/2 x 18 7/8 in. (174 x 47.9 cm), Paintings, Okada Hankō (Japanese, 1782–1846), This gentle, unassuming picture depicts a seaside village at dawn as the mist gradually clears from the mountains and treetops. The lone scholar at the bottom of the composition seems to walk toward, not away from, the viewer, an anomaly in an otherwise tradition-bound painting that depicts a narrow gorge and a small port in a steeply rising vertical composition
