"Tsuki No Misaki" was a famous spot located at a small hill around the entrance of Shinagawa Town, on the right side of Tokaido, for admiring the moon because of the location facing the sea. In this composition is depicted at the center a banquette room of a tea house in Shinagawa Town, beyond which Shinagawa Bay spreads with the autumn moon in the sky. The composition suggests you "Tsuki No Misaki" that is not depicted here. People at that time seemed to like this kind of trick in the art.
Slightly distorted on the both cut-off sides
