Additional information

Step into the serene beauty of Sakawa River and Sagami Bay with this exquisite hand-colored vintage reproduction print. Originally photographed in the late 19th century, this stunning image captures traditional Japanese fishermen along the river’s shoreline, skillfully casting their lines into the vast waters of Sagami Bay—a historically significant coastal region in Japan.

With the gentle waves lapping against the shore and rolling hills in the background, this scene beautifully reflects Japan’s rich maritime traditions. Three fishermen stand poised at the water’s edge, their long fishing rods extending into the sea, while another observer watches the tide, perhaps awaiting the perfect moment to cast his net. The soft pastel hues of the sky, the deep blues of the bay, and the earthy sands bring a timeless, peaceful atmosphere to this historical moment.

A remarkable example of early Japanese photography, this print is an ideal addition for those who appreciate traditional fishing culture, coastal landscapes, and historical art.
