Description
Catalog number M36 shows the moon rising at Nokizaki — a coastal or rural location where the lunar disc emerges above the horizon through a scene of quiet evening. Shotei's moonrise compositions required precise bokashi work to capture the graduated luminosity around the rising moon, the way its light began to affect the sky around it before the disc itself became fully visible. The Nokizaki setting suggests an intimate, locally specific observation rather than the grandeur of classical moongazing subjects.
