Description
A full moon glows in a cloud-streaked night sky above a dark sea, its light forming a bright column on the water's surface. A pine-covered rocky bluff occupies the lower left, topped by a temple building with a pale roof, while a small sailboat drifts near the shore in the distance. The palette is dominated by deep blues and greens against the pale yellow moon and its reflection. Woodblock print, "The Moon and Ishiyama" by Takahashi Shotei.
