Description
One of Hiroshige's most famous tanzaku-ban designs ... three geese against a gigantic full moon. Very light gradation around the edge of the moon shows the skill of the printer. The poem reads: "Will there ever again / be such a marvelous night! / Wild geese against the moon" (translation by John Carpenter). According to the MET, the prominent stamp in the lower section of the print includes images of a horse (read "ba") and a deer (read "ka"), together forming the word "baka" ("fool").
