Japan's most famous scenic view is rendered here in finely sprinkled gold and silver of varied grades. Seen beneath a full moon, the distant bird's-eye perspective encompasses Mount Fuji rising above clouds beyond a vast landscape. A formation of geese confirms the autumnal note of the moon; the pine-studded sandbar in the foreground waters evokes Miho no Matsubara, a nearby scenic place often associated with views of Fuji.
