Description
In his Rising Moon at Katase River, Kasamatsu Shiro shows a full moon just above the treeline on the hills in the background, at the beginning of the night, shining onto the Katase River. The Katase River should not be confused with a similarly named canal in Kyoto, but is part of the Sakai River, closer to Tokyo. This is also evident from the image itself, as it is a countryside scene. The night has just fallen, but is brightened by the full moon and the light coming from the buildings near the river. Below the rising moon a lone figure is visible on a boat, most likely heading home, before the night falls completely. Rising Moon at Katase River is a typical Shin-hanga print. It is perhaps simpler than some other Shin-hanga prints, but as always, Kasamatsu manages to capture the atmosphere of the scene perfectly.
