No.7 in the series 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets'. Katsushika Hokusai.
A poem is told by a noble-man [in China] away from home [Japan], as he contemplates the image of the moon.
When I look abroad
over the wide-stretched 'Plain of Heaven',
is the moon the same
that I used to see rising over
Mount Mikasa in the land of Kasuga?
The moon, reflected in the ocean, traditionally evokes memories of the past.
