歌川広重画 「あふみ八景 石山秋月」|Autumn Moon at Ishiyama, from the series Eight Views of Ōmi (Ōmi hakkei) is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet night scene by water. A big tree with long branches hangs over a cluster of buildings, their roofs dark against the pale sky. The moon glows in the top corner, casting a soft light on the scene. A few small boats float on the water, and a bridge stretches across in the distance. The artist used bold colors—deep blues, soft whites, and earthy browns—to create a peaceful mood. The buildings look like they’re part of a temple or village, and the trees add a sense of calm.

Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
