Description
A deep indigo evening sky holds a pale orange moon low above a row of dark, feathery pine silhouettes. Below, a white ox pulls a two-wheeled cart along a dirt path beside a curving stream that mirrors the moon's glow, with a small figure walking near the animal. The palette is dominated by blues and blacks with the single warm accent of the moon, giving the scene a quiet, still, nocturnal mood. "Evening Moon at Nakanoshima Park, Sapporo," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
