Description
A full moon glows white in a deep blue night sky above a temple pavilion with a curved tile roof and open railings. In the foreground a woman in a dark kimono with a red obi walks with a small child across a stone courtyard, while two more distant figures stand near a low wooden bench at left; a tree with pale blossoms or leaves fills the right edge. The scene is rendered almost entirely in blue tones with touches of green and red, evoking a quiet, cool night. Tsuchiya Koitsu, "Autumn Moon at Ishiyama Temple," color woodblock print, 1933.
