Description
A full moon glows pale orange-yellow above a dark castle wall and tiled gate roof, with a cherry tree in pink blossom rising beside the stone gateway. A single small figure in pale clothing stands on the paved stone path leading through the gate, silhouetted against the dusky blue-grey sky. The scene is rendered in muted indigo, brown, and dusty pink tones, evoking a quiet evening at Matsuyama Castle; woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
