Description
A full yellow moon hangs in a pale blue-grey sky above a dark hillside, its light rippling in broken yellow streaks across the river below; a lone figure poles a small boat near the shore. Along the far bank, a row of wooden houses and pine trees show scattered lit windows in yellow and orange against the deep blue night, with tall grasses silhouetted in the lower right foreground. *Rising Moon at Katase River*, a woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu.
