Description
A young woman with dark hair in a braid stands before a large pale full moon, partially screened by silhouetted grasses and pine branches in deep indigo blue. She wears a pale blue kimono patterned with white maple leaves, a large pink bow at her collar, and holds a light-colored fan against her chest, her head turned to gaze off to the side with a slight smile. The print is dominated by a blue and white palette with a tan-toned vertical text panel at the right edge; the facts identify it as *Autumn Full Moon* by Ito Shinsui, a woodblock print of unknown date.
