Triptych woodblock print of a calm bay at dusk with a full moon, rocky islets, sailboats, pine trees on the shore, and distant hills.

Evening View of Eight Famous Sites at Kanazawa

A triptych woodblock print showing a wide bay at dusk under a pale full moon. A rocky islet and a dark wooded headland sit in calm blue water, with small sailboats, distant hills, and pine-lined shores framing the scene in the foreground. The composition is layered and atmospheric, with soft gradations of blue and gray.
