Kamisaka Sekka

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image features a large gray moon on the left in the top half against a taupe background. In the bottom-right corner, a corner of a house with a tiled roof occupies approximately one-third of the image; the roof has light-colored tiles and darker brown grout; a few green leaves are on the surface. The roof peaks on the right and slopes down to the left. Two clusters of white flowers with green leaves are on top of the roof in the top-right corner and on the bottom-left corner. The bottom of the image has a white border. The image depicts a scene that is possibly autumnal.
