Aoba Castle, Sendai (Sendai Aobajō), from the series Collection of Scenic Views of Japan, Eastern Japan Edition (Nihon fūkei shu higashi Nihon hen)

Kawase Hasui has created a startling effect in this print by contrasting the blackness of the sky with the moonlight reflected on the castle wall. The lone star and the varying degrees of shadow on the building, grounds, and trees make this one of his most dramatic prints.
