Zumihari Zuki|月二拾八景之内 弓張月|Bow Moon is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Moon, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a large, curved bridge spanning a valley. The bridge is adorned with trees and bushes, while a waterfall cascades down the rocky slope on the right. In the background, a crescent moon shines brightly in the night sky. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene. The painting's romantic style is evident in its dreamy, idealized portrayal of nature. For more works that explore the beauty of the natural world, explore the Romanticism movement.
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.
