More about this artwork
The painting depicts a stylized, tranquil scene dominated by a large, smooth mound-like structure that is possibly representative of a hill or a very stylized house. The structure is in tones of gray, and its top features an intricate, lattice-like design, suggesting a window or a decorative element under a thatched roof. Surrounding this main form are delicate, detailed portrayals of tall grasses or thin reeds, rendered with fine lines that create a sense of wild overgrowth, as if partially obscuring the structure. An ethereal crescent moon hangs in the sky, adding a calm and serene mood to the atmosphere.

Kamisaka Sekka was an important artistic figure in early twentieth-century Japan. Born in Kyoto to a Samurai family, his talents for art and design were recognized early. He eventually allied himself with the traditional Rinpa school of art. He is considered the last great proponent of this artistic tradition.
