Moon over Chidori castle

A slender crescent moon hangs in a pale yellow sky above the sloping stone battlements and dark-tiled roof of a castle turret, its walls painted pale blue-grey with angular wooden lattice beams reinforcing the stonework. In the foreground, bare wintry trees and a small wooden shed stand on open ground rendered in muted grey and rust tones, with a low bluish hillside visible behind the castle wall. The scene is quiet and still, built from flat, angular blocks of color typical of the mokuhanga technique, with a title cartouche and red seal at lower right and a numbered series inscription at upper right.
