Description
An elderly woman with long white hair sits on a stone slab in a night scene beneath a slender crescent moon, tall grasses framing a grey sky behind her. She wears a pale kimono with a patterned obi in teal, red, and floral motifs, a straw cape draped over her shoulders, and grips a long staff or pipe in her clasped hands as she gazes off to the side. A thin stream or path of pale blue cuts across the muted grey ground beside the stone she sits on. *Gravemarker Moon*, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 1886, woodblock print.
