Description
A dusk scene rendered mostly in blue-grey and black tones, with a pale yellow full moon rising over a mountain silhouette. In the foreground, a stone lantern stands beside a torii gate near the shore of a lake, with a thatched-roof building visible across the water; a robed figure carrying a bag walks along the path near the gate, while a bare tree branch extends across the upper right. *Lake Chuzenji in Autumn*, a color woodblock print by Takahashi Shotei, 1930.
