多摩川，起源于山梨县甲州市的山地的河流，江户时代被称为玉川。其中游水流蜿蜒曲折，河床平坦宽阔且多砾石，常可步行而过。
远方的天际还残留着深蓝，地下的多摩川已被昏暗所环抱。一位农妇沿着河床的泥泞小路踽踽独行，身后是一个巨大的背篓。前方村庄与树木的剪影顺着地平线延伸，黑得是那样彻底，只有尽头仅存的一盏橘黄灯火，隐约闪烁。
在这幅珍贵的关东大地震前作品中，年仅19岁的深水就已展现出他对景物精准的还原与对孤独感的高度概括。辽远，悠长。冬日夜色中的这份孤独，深深地打动了同门的川濑巴水，并激发了他创作风景画的热情。未来延续四十年的“旅情诗人”传奇，即将开启。

Ito Shinsui (1898-1972）
Ito Shinsui is best known for his Shin Hanga portraits, often three-quarters, of beautiful women. But he produced several memorable, and memorably tonal, landscapes during his career.
Born in 1898 in a fast-modernizing Japan, he started work as a factory worker before his obvious talent got him promoted to the design department. Later, his paintings caught the eye of Watanabe Shozaburo, who added him to his roster of Shin Hanga stars. From this point on, beautiful women were almost Shinsui’s entire repetoire, although during World War II he did travel to Indonesia to produce designs depicting life there. His remarkable life spanned a tumultuous time indeed, and he died in 1972.
