Description
A full moon glows through dark trees above a lake, its light catching a row of pale blossoming trees along the shore and rippling across the water's surface. The scene is rendered almost entirely in deep blues, with the moon and reflected light as the only bright accents, evoking a still, quiet night. No figures are present. Woodblock print, "Spring Night at Inokashira," Kawase Hasui.
