Description
A gnarled, wind-bent pine tree dominates the foreground on a sloped shore, its dark branches silhouetted against a warm amber-orange sky with a pale full moon low on the horizon. In the middle distance a low mountain range meets a calm, rippled sea rendered in soft tan and cream tones; two small silhouetted figures with yoke-carried buckets walk along the curving shoreline. A red seal and vertical Japanese text appear in the lower left margin; this woodblock print, "Moonlit Beach Scene- V2," is attributed to Yoshimune Arai.
