Mochizuki

A moonlit road runs beneath tall, dark cedar trunks, with travelers in the lower left, including a man with a parasol and a donkey. At lower center, porters carry a loaded bundle, while a pale sea glimmers beyond the trees at right.

Look closer: A small distant traveler with a horse walks along the moonlit road.
