Tsuki ni tomari fune. Sailboats moored under the moon. Print shows sailboats at dock and low buildings under the light of 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. The symbolic meaning of the moon is closely tied to the act of rejuvenation.
