"(Reflection of Moon)" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, dating back to the 1830s. The artwork showcases three figures seated on a rocky outcrop, overlooking a tranquil body of water reflecting a sliver of moon. The composition, characteristic of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e style, emphasizes the beauty of nature and the serenity of the scene. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors create a sense of tranquility and evoke the quietude of the Japanese landscape. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of woodblock printing and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese natural beauty.
