Description
-
A landscape drawing of a mountain range with a crescent moon on the lefthand side and Japanese script on the righthand side, also done at Tule Lake. The use of graphite and subsequent overall darkness of the drawing illustrate the themes of desolation and loss that were found in some of Oiye's works.
