Description

A nocturnal lakeside view rendered in indigo and white: a full moon sits low in a dark blue sky and is mirrored in the still water below, with the dark silhouette of a building topped by a curved, tiered roof at the left edge of the composition. The illustration appears on a printed cover alongside two affixed postage stamps depicting sepia-toned hill-and-water landscapes, marked with red and black circular postmarks and a column of vertical Japanese text. The work is titled Tomogashima In Wakanoura (観光地百選 和歌の浦、友ヶ島島), a woodblock print attributed to Kawase Hasui; the year is unknown.
