Description
A black cat walks alone down a moonlit path flanked by a dark row of tree trunks on the left and dense foliage on the right, with a torii gate faintly visible in the pale distance. The composition is rendered almost entirely in silhouette, with deep blacks framing a luminous grey-white strip of moonlit ground and sky at the vanishing point. *Moonlight Night (Cat)*, a woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu.
