Yoru no fukagawa sanbashi. Sanbashi Bridge in Fukugawa at night. Print shows a person standing on a dock attached to a building, a small boat with passengers arriving or departing, under a full moon. Since ancient times the Japanese have contemplated the combination of snow, flowers, moon, and the beauties of nature. And not only have they contemplated such scenes, they've also made them favored themes for paintings and poetry.
