UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE (1797-1858) Yumiharizuki (Bow-shaped crescent moon) Woodblock print, from the series Tsuki niju hakkei no uchi (Twenty-eight views of the Moon), signed Hiroshige hitsu, sealed Ichiryusai, published by Wakasaya Yoichi (Jakurindo), circa 1832 Otanzaku: 15 x 6 7/8 in. (38.1 x 17.5 cm.)
The upper section of a deep gorge is connected precariously by a rope bridge. Far below a waterfall descends through rocks, illuminated by the light of a crescent moon. The scene is accompanied by a Chinese poem: "At dawn, the moon flies for a while/ behind a thousand trees/ Autumn rivers keep it distant/ from the numerous peaks in the West". See Matthi Forrer, Hiroshige Prints and Drawings, (London, 1997), cat. no. 123.
