| A fairy moon and a lonely shore, 1890 |
Shows a man with a shoulder pole walking along a moonlite shore. The term fairy moon (black moon) refers to an additional new moon that appears in a month or in a season. It may also refer to the absence of a full moon or of a new moon in a month. 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. Via
