              of pale, parchment-color lacquer illuminates a gently sloping hillock with
              mottled black lacquer surface. Two crickets stand out with startling, playful
              clarity in polished black lacquer. Pampas grasses echo the rounded forms
              of the moon and hillside in slender lines of gold and black lacquer weighted
              with silver dewdrops that glisten in the moonlight. The dark, green-brown
              sky enhances the dreamlike atmosphere. This intimate close-up of nature
              suggests a low window opening onto a garden in autumn, a season that
              evokes a sense of melancholy and regret for the passing of time. In Japan,
              gazing at the moon and listening to the sounds of insects have long been
              tranquil ways to spend an autumn evening.
