Sunrise at the Port of Kobe 1935

"Sunrise at the Port of Kobe" is a 1935 oil painting by Japanese artist Fujishima Takeji (1867-1943). The work depicts a serene seascape, with a vibrant, colorful sunrise casting its glow across the calm waters of the port. The composition features several small boats silhouetted against the luminous sky, evoking a sense of tranquility and peace. The painting is a prime example of Takeji's Impressionistic style, where the artist uses loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors to capture the fleeting beauty of nature.
