Description:

This nighttime scene shows an autumn moon over Lake Biwa, with a bridge over the Serta River and tea houses and inns grouped around the periphery of the Buddhist temple. Hiroshige depicted this scene several times and his viewers would have recognized its historical significance. While staying at the Ishiyama Temple in 1004, Lady Murasaki was inspired by this same moonlit view to write her famous novel 'The Tale of Genji'.
