Autumn Evening with Full Moon on Musashino Plain, early 1600s. Japan, Edo period (1615-1868). Pair of six-fold screens; ink, color, and gold and silver foil on gilded paper; overall: 170.2 x 346.7 cm (67 x 136 1/2 in.). Tall grasses and autumn flowers reach out of thick green undergrowth in this depiction of the plain of Musashi, a site famous from classical Japanese poetry. A silver disc, now tarnished, represents the full moon. Flecks of cut-gold foil in the sky evoke the days passage into night. Once a wilderness with a vast horizon, Musashi is now densely populated.
