A full moon hangs overhead illuminating the well-manicured Moto-Hakone Minami Mountain Villa estate. The soft light reveals lush vegetation with sumptuous colors through the tranquil terrain. A woodgrain texture is present throughout the design, giving the scene a strong atmospheric quality and further amplifying the poetic charm of the design.

Connoisseur's Note

One of six untitled designs in the set Collection of Views of the Moto-Hakone Minami Mountain Villa. Privately commissioned by the Iwasaki family, the set was published in 1935 and sold to foreign visitors when the villa was turned into a hotel before WWII.
