Title: Autumn Moon at Tama River/玉川秋月 (Tamagawa Akitsuki)
Creator: Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
Description: Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. Fishermen line the softly sloped shores of Tama river. Willow tree branches blow delicately in the wind along with sparse river grasses. In the back the full moon hangs over the scene.

It evokes images of the empty Musashino moor and the autumn moon. Poem signed Asanoyadō Massugu: The image of the moon in the autumn night which is luminous as day/ lingers on the Tama stream as the river lingers by the Twin Pines.
