Swallows with Peach Blossoms and Full Moon, 1850s
Gekka momo ni tsubakura. Moon, swallows, and peach blossoms. Two swallows with peach blossoms and 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. Utagawa Hiroshige, 1850s
