Description
A night scene rendered in deep blue and black silhouette: a traveler on horseback leads a smaller figure on foot along a path, with a large tree looming at right and low hills or foliage silhouetted against the graduated blue sky. A pale crescent moon hangs above the group, its light picking out the pale dirt of the path against the surrounding darkness. This "Miniature Print of travellers at night" by Takahashi Shotei is executed in mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock).
