Description
A wide stone bridge with ornate metal finials on its railings stretches across the composition under a pale full moon in a green-tinted evening sky. Small figures in kimono walk across the bridge alone or in pairs, silhouetted against the pale gray roadway, with dark clustered trees lining the banks on both sides. The palette is limited to soft greens, grays, and blue-greens, giving the scene a cool, quiet, twilight stillness. Woodblock print, "The Full Moon Viewed on the Seta Karahashi Bridge — 瀬田唐橋," by Kotozuka Eiichi; year unknown.
