I was looking for a place to paint, preferrably a port with many boats or something similar. That is when I found this tiny hamlet of fishermen's houses while walking on the outskirts of the coastal city of Otaru. Tucked in behind a residential area, it was not quite visible from a public street nearby. With no signs, I could have easily missed it.
My instincts told me to take a narrow alley between houses and go toward the joyful commotion of what sounded like sea gulls. I was glad I did. At the end of an alley, there was a small bay where local fishermen parked their vessels on shore. I saw gulls swarming around a returning fishing boat - the last one to come home that day.
