The Palace in the Moon

The Palace in the Moon by Kitagawa Utamaro. A sepia-toned, rectangular illustration bordered by thin black lines. In the bottom right corner, two people stand on a low bridge, with one person slightly behind the other; both wear traditional Japanese clothing. The bridge extends from the bottom right towards the center. On the left side, a large, multi-tiered building with pagoda-style roofs and a flag on a pole; a smaller building behind and to the right. A curved wall runs along the front of the buildings. The background is a plain, light-brown color.
