content: A night scene of colorfully adorned villagers contrasts the black rooftops. Located in the forefront, is a man on horseback greeted by two well-dressed women. Hiroshige illuminates the sharp geometric angles with scenes from the inside of restaurants. Beyond the village is a mountain with a crescent moon climbing behind. A low cloud highlighted with purple connects the landscape to the architecture.
