Description
A moonlit blue-toned view across calm water toward a torii gate standing in the shallows, its silhouette dark against the pale night sky. In the foreground, two stone lanterns glow with warm yellow light beneath the sweeping branches of a pine tree, with additional lantern lights flickering faintly along the far shore. Woodblock print, "Moonlight Night at Miyajima" by Kawase Hasui.
