Description:
"Tsuki Hyakushi" (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon). Minamoto no Tsunenobu, 11th Century, recited his poem, "I listen to the sound of cloth being pounded. The moon shines serenely and I believe that there is someone else who has not yet gone to sleep." After he finished his poem, a demon appeared in the sky, responded to his poem with another, and stomped away.
