Tango Amano Hashidate

A full moon hangs over a calm blue bay, where a long sandbar lined with dark pine trees stretches across the water toward distant green hills. Small lanterns or boats dot the sea, and a green slope fills the lower right corner.

Look closer: A red seal and signature are stamped near the lower left edge of the print.
