About the piece
Created by the celebrated Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyōsai in 1884, this work employs traditional Chinese-style ink wash techniques to evoke a scene of profound tranquility. The composition features a lone fisherman beneath a hazy moon, with soft, atmospheric brushwork creating a sense of immense depth among the receding mountain peaks and riverside cliffs.
