Landscape in Moonlight by Kano Tan'yū: A vertical rectangular painting on beige paper or silk with a gold border featuring a floral pattern. The image depicts a misty landscape with mountains and a building shrouded in fog. The mountains are dark and appear rugged, positioned on the left and center of the painting. A building with a tiled roof sits on the bottom right, partially obscured by fog. The sky is filled with gray clouds, and the overall color palette is muted, with shades of gray, beige, and black. Japanese calligraphy is visible on the left side. The top and bottom of the painting feature a thin blue and white border.
