Description
A woman in a dark indigo coat over a grey underlayer stands in half-profile against a solid green ground, a pale hood or wrap framing her face and a red cord or sash knotted at her waist. She holds a woven basket filled with round white forms (eggs or fruit) against her body with both hands, her eyes lowered. Behind her a pale semicircular moon rests low against rolling grey-green hills; vertical columns of Japanese text run along the left and right margins of the print. *Rising Moon*, Takehisa Yumeji, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print).
