Spring Moon, Ninomiya Beach (Haru no tsuki, Ninomiya kaigan)

Arts of Asia

1932

Kawase Hasui 川瀬巴水
Japanese, 1883-1957

In this print, the moon is so bright that it illuminates not only the distant clouds and the water below but also the edges of the branches and needles on the pine tree in the foreground. A lone fisherman, pole over his shoulder, walks home along the shore, although it is not clear whether he has caught anything.
