Description: One of Hiroshige's most famous tanzaku-ban designs ... three geese against a gigantic full moon.


The print has a perfect example of Hiroshige's 'Baka' seal. 'Ba' is a pronunciation of the character for horse, and 'Ka' is part of 'shika', the word for deer ... Although the term these days is usually translated as 'fool', back in those days it was apparently more associated with good fortune and long life ..
