Description
A moonlit seascape rendered in deep blues, with a full moon glowing behind streaked clouds and casting a pale reflection across the water. Dark, pine-covered rocky islets rise from the sea in the foreground and midground, their silhouettes nearly black against the indigo water and sky; a small boat with one or two figures is visible on the water at right. Woodblock print, "Collection of scenic views of Japan, eastern Japan edition: Matsushima, Futagojima," by Kawase Hasui.
