Description
A full moon glows white against a deep indigo night sky, partly veiled by thin clouds, with the silhouettes of several bare, wind-bent trees rising against it. Below, a dark pond or wetland reflects faint light, bordered by a low grassy bank rendered in soft blue-gray tones. The scene is otherwise empty of figures, with a still, cold, nocturnal mood. *Winter Moon*, woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
