About this print
Beyond the open shoji, low hills and pine trees dissolve into the gray of night. In the room are two women. Large red flowers are scattered across the hem of the standing woman's kimono. A round hanging lamp trails red and purple tassels.
This is the left-hand sheet of the three. The center sheet, too, has a hanging lamp with red tassels under its eaves. At moon viewing, it is the custom to offer dumplings (dango) to the moon, not only on the night of the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month but also on jusanya, the thirteenth night of the ninth month.
