(107.32 ¡Ñ 377.19 ¡Ñ 1.43 cm) (mount), Ink and color on silver and gilded paper, Japan, 17th century, Below golden clouds, a silver moon sinks into an autumn meadow. A brook, glowing gold in the moonlight, trickles in and meanders through a profusion of grasses and flowers. Deep blue and white bellflowers, asters, chrysanthemums, even an orange lily left over from summer, punctuate a sea of swaying Miscanthus grass. The long, narrow composition of this pair of screens, shorter than usual height but extending over twelve feet, emphasizes the grassland¡¦s vastness.
