Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

Woodblock print of a harbor scene at night. A large body of water with small waves occupies most of the image. A pier or dock extends from the bottom-right corner into the water. On the left, a large wooden pillar rises from the water, with a net hanging from it and two torches on the water. On the right, several boats are moored at a dock. The background shows a dark sky with a large crescent moon and stars. Two vertical red banners with Japanese writing are visible, one on the pillar and one on the top-right corner. A small island is in the distance. The image has a beige border with darker corners.
