Kozuka with a Man in a Boat Viewing the Moon
(Japanese Military Armor)
At the right of composition, a man is depicted sitting in a boat. He holds a basket of shells in his hand and looks up over his left shoulder. The object of his gaze, the full moon, is shown on the reverse of the kozuka. The artist's signature is on the short edge, which is unusual. This is part of a mounted set.
