Description: A beautiful woodblock-printed postcard probably published for foreign tourists in the 1950s, featuring a sightseeing spot in Kyoto. This print is titled "The Moon in Arashiyama" (嵐山ノ月). Shades of blue are used effectively to express the night scenery of Arashiyama. It seems so quiet, and we can almost hear the sound of paddling...

Note: unlike some of the other prints of this type that we currently have in the catalogue, this one is not mounted on a postcard.
