Landscape with Ferry Boat, Geese and Full Moon

Totoya Hokkei

Cleveland Museum of Art

The scene depicts a serene landscape featuring a body of water, a full moon in the sky, and several individuals engaged in various activities. On the left side, a small boat with a single occupant is positioned near the water's edge. The person is leaning over the side of the boat. A second boat with people is visible in the background. To the right, a wooden structure with a sloping roof extends over the water, and a person stands on it, holding an object. On the shore, three individuals are present: one is bending down, another is standing with their arms raised, and a third person is partially obscured. In the background, a line of trees is visible on the left, while a field of tall grasses or reeds occupies the right side. A flock of geese flies in the sky. The overall atmosphere suggests a peaceful rural setting.
