Description
A full moon glows yellow above a dark teal sea and sky, its light reflected in a still pool of water in the foreground. Thatched-roof huts and a wooden fence stand in silhouette on the shore, with a tall pole rising beside them, all rendered in deep brown and black tones against the luminous blue-green night sky. No human figures are visible in this nocturnal coastal view. Kawase Hasui, "Mishima River," woodblock print.
