Full Moon Over Canal, with Bridge and Huge Stacks of Bamboo along the Bank
A Japanese woodblock print with a beige border depicts a nighttime scene on a canal with a bridge. A blue night sky with a white moon is above a grey stone bridge arcing over the water, with people standing on it. The canal has blue water with gentle ripples, a man in a small boat in the foreground, and several other boats and people in the background. The left riverbank features tall, thin stacks of bamboo. Red banners with black Japanese calligraphy and a grey box with a picture and Japanese calligraphy are on the upper right. The artist's name and title, "Full Moon Over Canal, with Bridge and Huge Stacks of Bamboo along the Bank by Utagawa Hiroshige", are consistent with the style and content of the image.
