Subject: In a Japanese water garden Prince Genji stands on the deck of a house, in front of him his concubine holds a hand lantern illuminating the night sky. This colaboration by Hiroshige I and Toyokuni III comes from the magnificent series of 4 triptychs jointly designed with Kunisada drawing the figures and Hiroshige designing the landscape background. This series is reminiscent of Hiroshige's 'Snow, moon and flowers' triptychs, this design being moon light.
