描述：

This print shows a bird’s-eye view of Izuhara, the main and important port of the Tsushima Islands, situated strategically in the strait between Japan and the Korean peninsula. The Prussian blue pigment used in the sea and sky of this and all of the other prints in this series revolutionized Japanese woodblock printing. Before this color was imported to Japan in the 1820s, woodblock artists and print publishers used blue pigments derived from natural sources susceptible to fading, such as indigo and dayflower petals. The availability of the new, imported pigment was a major factor in the development of landscape as a significant genre in Japanese prints, and made possible a wider range of intense and long-lasting hues.
