Description
This mokuhanga print presents a horizontal seascape within a thin blue-ruled border: a pale blue sky, textured with a mottled, cobblestone-like pattern of paler cells and faint wood grain, holds a plain white circular moon in the upper right. A low green headland stretches across the horizon — broad and rounded at right, narrowing to a thin strip at left — above a cream-colored shore and pale shallows, with a jagged channel of dark indigo water winding through the foreground toward the lower right corner. The lower margin is inscribed "Green Island Moon 1" at left and "Tom Kristensen 2005," numbered 5/25, at right.
