A Shin Hanga Woodblock print of Suma Beach by Moonlight by artist Arai Yoshimune.

The "Night Scene" series of prints were published during the early 1900's by Hasegawa/Nishinomiya of Tokyo. There are 21 chuban-format prints in the series which is indicative of the early transitional style of shin-hanga, the dominant movement in Japanese print making during the first half of the 20th Century.

The series is comprised of prints showing evening and night views of popular Japanese landscape scenes, often under a full moon. The series is printed primarily in blues and blacks with highlights of orange, yellow, red and pink.
