Matsumoto Castle

A steep-tiered castle tower rises against a deep indigo night sky, its dark, curving tiled roofs stacked diagonally and its pale walls patterned with rows of small windows and geometric beams. In the upper left a crescent moon in yellow-green sits within a darker green disc, while the castle's base and foreground ground are rendered in pale grey and black silhouetted rooflines. A red seal mark appears in the lower right corner, with pencil annotations ("'78 K 73/300") below the image; the print is by Okiie Hashimoto, titled *Matsumoto Castle*, medium mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock).
