Español: Luna crepuscular en el puente Ryogoku

Entre los pilotes de madera y las diagonales de refuerzo de un gran puente, esta estampa en color muestra barcas sobre un amplio río bajo una luna pálida al atardecer. Casas, árboles y un pequeño puente arqueado bordean la orilla opuesta, mientras el cielo se desvanece en azul sobre el horizonte.

Entre os pilares de madeira e as diagonais de reforço de uma grande ponte, esta gravura colorida mostra barcos sobre um rio amplo sob uma lua pálida ao crepúsculo. Casas, árvores e uma pequena ponte em arco ladeiam a margem oposta, enquanto o céu se dissolve em azul no horizonte.
