This artwork captures a tranquil nighttime scene where two small islands emerge from a softly shimmering body of water under a bright full moon. The silvery path of moonlight stretches across the calm sea, illuminating the delicate silhouettes of pine trees clustered on the islands' rocky surfaces. The artist’s mastery of traditional Japanese woodblock printing is evident in the meticulous layering of colors and the detailed texturing of clouds and water, which enhances the atmospheric depth and mood of quiet solitude.

The composition is both balanced and poetic, with the two islands anchoring the foreground while gentle waves ripple in the foreground and recede into a misty horizon. Subtle gradations of blues and grays dominate the palette, conveying a cool, serene night air. The faint figure of a boatman in the water adds a sense of human presence and scale, inviting the viewer to imagine the stillness broken only by the soft strokes of paddles. This piece not only exemplifies the shin-hanga movement's revival of ukiyo-e traditions but also evokes a timeless moment of harmony between nature and humanity.
