Description
A near-full moon hangs pale lavender-white in a mauve sky above the dark, purple-shadowed cone of Mount Fuji, its slope streaked with faint linework. To the right, tall bare grasses or reeds rise in thin black silhouetted strokes against a band of orange twilight glow along the horizon, which fades upward into the pink-violet sky. Mokuhanga print by Hideo Hagiwara, "Long-lasting evening moon," pencil-signed and numbered 71/100 in the lower margin.
