"description": "Aoki Shukuya was a top student of painter Ike Taiga and took responsibility for Taiga\u2019s stylistic legacy. A painting album by Taiga, part of which survives today in Kyoto in hanging scroll format, served as the source for this painting by Shukuya and the matching designs from a set of wood-block\u2013printed volumes published in 1804. The postscript to the books, written and carved by the scholar Minagawa Kien (\u7686\u5ddd\u6dc7\u5712) (1735\u20131807), explains that Taiga produced the original album for his wife and fellow painter Tokuyama Gyokuran (\u5fb3\u5c71\u7389\u703e) (1727/28\u20131784).
The final design in the first volume of the books and Shukuya\u2019s corresponding painting include the text \u201cviewing the moon from a river pavilion\u201d (\u6c5f\u697c\u8cde\u6708). The scene alludes to a poem by Tang dynasty (618\u2013907) poet Zhao Gu (\u8d99\u560f) (Chinese, active mid-800s). In the poem, a person gazes at the moon from a riverside pavilion and reflects on the absence of a companion who had admired it with him at the same place the year before.",
