Description:

Print no. 25 of the series: "Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces" This region of Japan is famous for its rice culture, with paddy fields forming stepped tiers down the mountain slopes. Here, Hiroshige depicts a nighttime scene in which each rice paddy reflects the moon. The great haiku poet Matsuo Basho wrote a travel memoir about his journey to Sarashina in 1688, which made this moonlit view famous: “The moon is already sixteen days old, and yet I linger in Sarashina Village.”
