Description
A woman with her hair in a high traditional bun sits in the stern of a small wooden boat, playing a biwa held diagonally across her checkered blue-and-white kimono. The scene is rendered in muted grey-blue tones under a pale round moon, with drooping willow branches overhanging the water, reeds at the boat's edge, distant sailing vessels, a misty shoreline of pine trees and rooftops, and a mountain silhouette in the background. A red cartouche with vertical Japanese text appears in the upper right; this woodblock print is by Miyagawa Shuntei.
