This nighttime scene depicts a moonlit landscape with figures walking on a path near a waterfall. The print uses the "ukiyo-e" style, which is known for depicting everyday life in Japan, and highlights the beauty of the natural world. This print is one of many in Hiroshige's series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," a collection of landscapes depicting the sights of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
