Description
A full moon glows in a deep indigo night sky streaked with pale clouds, its light scattering in broken silver ripples across the water. Two dark-sailed boats cross the bay, a large three-sailed vessel with visible crew figures in the foreground and a smaller two-sailed boat further back near a low silhouetted coastline, a small lantern glowing orange at the near boat's stern. *Boats at Shinagawa, Night*, a woodblock print by Tsuchiya Koitsu, renders the scene in deep blues and blacks against the moonlit water and sky.
