Description
A large golden moon with a finely stippled, cratered surface fills the upper portion of the composition, its lower edge cutting across the picture against a dark teal-to-black gradient ground; a small red seal mark sits in the upper left corner. Below, a single clenched fist and forearm rise from the bottom edge of the composition, reaching up toward the moon. This is Kiritsubo (from In the Garden of Genji) by Hiroaki Miyayama, executed in aquatint, deep etching, and gold leaf; the date is unknown.
